Thanks Steve! This is the impression that I got from reading your examples on the page however I wanted to reconfirm it.

Hi Rabab,
I would not use the figcaption element for lengthy/structured text.
The figure element groups content i.e. conveys that the content within it
is associated and the figcaption element acts as the name/label for the the
figure element. This is how it is implemented in Firefox for example.
regards
