How to align caption underneath image

Question

I have 9 images in total and three on each row, I have managed to add a caption for one of my images, but failed to do so for the other ones as it just centers everything underneath and not aligned text to rows per image.

<figure>
<center>
<img src='images/album1.jpg' alt='missing' />
<figcaption>Album name goes here
<br>Year goes here
<br>artist name goes here</figcaption>

<img src='images/album2.jpg' alt='missing' />
<figcaption>Album name goes here
<br>Year goes here
<br>artist name goes here</figcaption>

<img src='images/album2.jpg' alt='missing' />
<figcaption>Album name goes here
<br>Year goes here
<br>artist name goes here</figcaption>
</figure><center>

And so on.

Answer 1

I would set up the code this way:

<figure>
    <img src='http://placehold.it/200x200' alt='missing' />
    <figcaption>Album name goes here
        <br>Year goes here
        <br>artist name goes here</figcaption>
</figure>

and apply the following CSS:

figure {
    display: inline-block;
    border: 1px dotted gray;
    margin: 20px; /* adjust as needed */
}
figure img {
    vertical-align: top;
}
figure figcaption {
    border: 1px dotted blue;
    text-align: center;
}

Because each figure is an inline-block, you can basically repeat the unit three times per row, either adding a <br> after the every third one, or wrapping three in a block element, or using a CSS3 nth-of-type(3n) selector to add a line break or similar.

Use text-align: center on figcaption to align the test to the center.

The results look like this (for a wide enough screen):

Answer 2

this works for me.

figure {
  display: inline-block;
  text-align: center;
  border: 1px dotted gray;
  margin: 5px; /* adjust as needed */
}
figure img {
  vertical-align: top;
}
figure figcaption {
  border: 1px dotted blue;
}

text-align: center; is the only thing needed.

Answer 3

Each figure should only contain one image and one figcaption.

<figure>
    <img>
   <figcaption>
   </figcaption>
</figure>

BTW...the 'center' element no longer exists.

    <p style='text-align: right; margin-right: 3em; font-family: Serif;'><b> Moon and meow </b></p>
    </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Answer 5

It is enough to provide alignment attribute in the figcaption : text-start , text-center and text-end

<figure>
   <img src='http://placehold.it/150x150' alt='missing' class="figure-img img-fluid rounded-circle"/>
   <figcaption class="figure-caption text-center">Name</figcaption>
</figure>
