The Figcaption Problem
Briefly

The issue of figcaption width not matching that of the image in a figure element arises when images are narrower than their container. Centering images while wanting the figcaption to wrap at the edges of the image presents a design challenge. This limitation is influenced by the parent figure element's width. Designers often seek solutions for making figcaption widths more flexible, with a notable insight shared by Jeff Bridgforth. A viable fix was later highlighted by Stephanie Eckles, addressing the concerns effectively.
The challenge arises when wanting the figcaption width to match that of the image, especially when the image does not span the full width of the container.
While many designers face similar issues, the parent figure element typically constrains the width of the figcaption, making proper sizing a challenge.
Jeff Bridgforth highlighted the need for a workaround that allows figcaption to wrap appropriately, without extending beyond the limits set by the image.
Stephanie Eckles provided an effective solution that allows figcaption to match the image width, demonstrating that a proper fix exists for this common issue.
