The caption tag is used inside the HTML element "table". This can also be done indirectly using the code "|+" as part of the wikicode for a table. Captions are placed above the table by default. Captions can also be placed below, to the left, or to the right of the table, based on the value of the "align" parameter.
A caption may be a few words or several sentences. Writing good captions takes effort; along with the lead and section headings, captions are the most commonly read words in an article, so they should be succinct and informative.

The caption is visible to all readers, and can contain HTML markup, wikilinks and inline citations. An infobox often contains a plain image with the caption as a separate row.
