Allow image captions beneath images

HTML5 introduces the <figure> and <figcaption> tags. These should be used for this. IE <= 8 can be made to "work" with this (i.e. allow it to be styled) using html5shiv.

Another question would be: do we introduce a 3rd textfield for the image field alongside alt and title, or do we combine tile and caption as does the mentioned project?

There are a lot of contrib modules doing that. Closing this.

Now that captions are recognized by html5 as being valid structural/semantic markup (which it IMO indeed is) I would expect Drupal 8 to support it out of the box. But I guess it is to late now, as it still should be considered a feature, not a bug.

Hoping that it can be added to D9.

Hm... The let's try to push it in 8.x :)

This went in with #2014895: Image captions & alignment (for inline images).
