HTML5 has a nice “figure” and “figurecaption” tags, for images. Like this:
<figure> <img src="../i/lilies-s.png" alt="lilies" width="167" height="106"> <figcaption>lilies</figcaption> </figure>
By spec, the “figurecaption” tag should be either the first or last element of the “figure” tag.
Test if you browser support it here: HTML5 figure figurecaption test page.
