Caption
Updated: 06/22/2024 by Computer Hope
A caption may refer to any of the following:
1. In general, a caption is text on an image or video describing what's displayed. It can also show a dictation of what's being said. For example, the picture shows a caption of electrolytic capacitors.
Another example is translated text at the bottom of a video as a person speaks a different language. This caption text is also called CC (closed captions or closed captioning).
2. When writing in HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the <caption> tag is used to add a title to a table.
