Tailwind CSS Caption Side

The caption-side utilities in Tailwind CSS allow you to set the caption position of a table. The caption-side property in CSS is used to specify the positioning of the table caption.

Syntax

The caption-side classes follow the format:

<element class="caption-{position}">

where {position} can be one of:

• top
• bottom

Example

Here is an example of how to use the caption-side utility class in HTML:

<table class="table-auto">
  <caption class="caption-top">Table Caption at the Top of the Table</caption>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Age</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>John</td>
      <td>Doe</td>
      <td>30</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Jane</td>
      <td>Doe</td>
      <td>25</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  <caption class="caption-bottom">Table Caption at the Bottom of the Table</caption>
</table>

Output

The above example will produce a table with a caption at both the top and bottom of the table.
