+## Caption
+
+The `Caption` component renders the [caption part](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/gallery-block/#caption) of some blocks (image, gallery...).
+
+This component encapsulates the "caption" behaviour and styles over a `<RichText>` so it can be used in other components such as the `BlockCaption` component.
