<p>Use the <code>figure</code> element to provide a title or caption for a
<link xref="mal_block_media">multimedia object</link> or other block object.
To provide a title for the contents of a file, such as a
<link xref="mal_block_code">code block</link>, use the
<code xref="mal_block_listing">listing</code> element instead.</p>
<!-- BEGIN notes -->

<title>Notes</title>
<list>
<item><p>The <code>figure</code> element contains an optional
<link xref="mal_block_title">title</link> element, an optional
<link xref="mal_block_desc">desc</link> element, and any
<link xref="mal_block">general block content</link>.</p></item>
<item><p>The <code>figure</code> element can occur in any
general block context, including inside
<link xref="mal_page">pages</link>, <link xref="mal_section">sections</link>,
and certain <link xref="mal_block">block elements</link>.</p></item>
<item><p>The <code>style</code> attribute takes a space-separated list of
style hints. Processing tools should adjust their behavior according to
those style hints they understand.</p></item>
<item><p>The <code>figure</code> element can have attributes from external
namespaces. See <link xref="mal_external"/> for more information
on external-namespace attributes.</p></item>

<p>Use <code>figure</code> to provide a title and caption for an image:</p>
<example>
<code><![CDATA[
<figure>
<title>Drake</title>
<desc>Drake is the Mallard mascot.</desc>
<media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/mallard.png"/>
</figure>
]]></code>
<figure>
<title>Drake</title>
<desc>Drake is the Mallard mascot.</desc>
<media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/mallard.png"/>
</figure>
</example>
</section>
<!-- END examples -->
<!-- BEGIN processing -->
<section id="processing">
<title>Processing Expectations</title>
<p>Figures are displayed as block elements, with each of their child elements
being interpreted as block elements. When present, the title and description
should be displayed in a way that makes their respective roles clear.</p>
</section>
<!-- END processing -->
<!-- BEGIN comparison -->
<section id="comparison">
<title>Comparison to Other Formats</title>
<p>The <code>figure</code> is similar to the
<code href="http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/figure.html">figure</code>
element in DocBook. DocBook only provides a title for figures, whereas
Mallard distinguishes between a title and a caption.</p>
