st.caption

Display text in small font.

This should be used for captions, asides, footnotes, sidenotes, and other explanatory text.

Function signature[source]
st.caption(body, unsafe_allow_html=False, *, help=None)
Parameters
body (str)	The text to display as GitHub-flavored Markdown. Syntax information can be found at: https://github.github.com/gfm. See the `body` parameter of `st.markdown` for additional, supported Markdown directives.
unsafe_allow_html (bool)	Whether to render HTML within `body`. If this is `False` (default), any HTML tags found in `body` will be escaped and therefore treated as raw text. If this is `True`, any HTML expressions within `body` will be rendered. Adding custom HTML to your app impacts safety, styling, and maintainability. Note If you only want to insert HTML or CSS without Markdown text, we recommend using `st.html` instead.
help (str or None)	A tooltip that gets displayed next to the caption. If this is `None` (default), no tooltip is displayed. The tooltip can optionally contain GitHub-flavored Markdown, including the Markdown directives described in the `body` parameter of `st.markdown`.

Examples

import streamlit as st

st.caption("This is a string that explains something above.")
st.caption("A caption with _italics_ :blue[colors] and emojis :sunglasses:")
