In this article, we define a table caption by using the <caption> tag element. The caption element is used to specify the caption of a table. This tag will be inserted just after the table tag. Only one caption can be specified for one table. It is by default aligned to the center. Syntax:
<caption align="value"> </caption>
Example: html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <style>
        table,
        th,
        td {
            border: 1px solid black;
        }

        #GFG {
            font-size: 25px;
            color: green;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <h1 style="color:green;font-size:35px;">
