This page describes how to style the various elements of figures. This includes figure captions, accessibility text, and figure credits. The images themselves are not part of the XML file; the XML includes pointers to separate graphic files.

Figure Caption, Figure Caption Continued, Figure Accessibility Caption, Figure Credit

As for tables, the Figure Caption style is used for the figure number and the first paragraph of the figure caption. If the caption extends to a second or subsequent paragraph, the Figure Caption Continued style should be used. The Figure Accessibility Caption style is used for a paragraph that describes the content of the figure for visually impaired users or others who are unable to view the image. The Figure Credit style is used for a paragraph that contains information about the source of the image and/or details of any permissions obtained.
