Exemplary material

figure

The figure element is used to group an illustration together with a caption or other exemplary or explanatory material.

The illustration may be a picture, chart, diagram, formula, computer code, poem, or other such work of art.

The figure element is analagous to an "aside" element for visual media or exemplary material.
