> Anyway, "caption" is presentational.
Oh, please. If "caption" is presentational, then "paragraph" and
"table" are as much, if not more. According to my dictionary:
paragraph
a distinct section of a piece of writing, usually dealing
with a single theme and indicated by a new line,
indentation, or numbering.
table
a set of facts or figures systematically displayed, esp.
in columns.
caption
a title or brief explanation appended to an article,
illustration, cartoon, or poster.
If there is a definition in this list which doesn't suggest some kind
of visual presentation, it's the caption. Surely you have a different
definition than me.
The semantic relation between a caption and its image, or figure,
should be exactly what is defined above: "a title or a brief
explanation".
