Introduction to <figure>tag
The <figure>tag in HTML is used to represent self-contained content, often with a caption, that is usually referenced within the main flow of a document but can stand alone as well. This tag is particularly useful for grouping media elements like images, illustrations, diagrams, code snippets, or other content that might need a caption or a label for better context and description.
