Hi: I would like to use <details> as a child of <figure> but get an error message when running the Nu-HTML checker. error: Element “details” not allowed as child of element “figure” in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.) I believe my use of <details> as a child of <figure> is flagged because I am also using <figcaption> within the same <figure>. When <details> is a child of <figcaption> within the <figure>, the error goes away. I also noticed that when I use <details> as a child of <figure> that does not have <figcaption>, there is no error. I am wondering why the Nu_HTML validator allows <details>1) as a child of <figcaption> and 2) as a child of <figure> when there is no <figcaption>, but not 3) as a child of <figure>, which also has <figcaption>. Note: I have tested <details> as a child of <figure> with a <figcaption> with Firefox, Chrome, and Edge and noticed that these browsers do support this combination.
