Description Ralph Seabrook 2013-09-13 00:28:25 UTC 
<figure> places the picture 3em units to the right or left, away from the page border. That reduces available space and not always looks good.

<figcaption> does not center over the picture as it does for table caption.

I know, this is a new command, but it works nicely for Tables....

Thanks, guys.
