<legend> ... </legend>
Available in versions: 4.0
The <legend> tag is used to create a caption for the form elements
associated with a fieldset group.
Therefore, this tag can only be used inside the fieldset element.
The browser is supposed to render the legend caption in a special manner to accentuate
the appearance.
This tag is one of three tags implemented in 4.0 that help set the appearance of a form.
The other two are fieldset and label.
However, these three tags are poorly implemented by most browsers.
The closing tag is mandatory.
