: What is the alternative to using a "summary" attribute of an HTML table for screen readers? Refer to the table attribute summary in MDN Usage Note: Do not use this attribute, as it has

Refer to the table attribute summary in MDN


Usage Note: Do not use this attribute, as it has been deprecated. Instead, choose one of these methods to add a description of a table:


Use prose around the table (this method is less semantic).
Add a description in the table's element.
Add a description in a element, inside the table's element.
Include the element in a element and add the description in prose next to it.
Include the element in a element and add the description in prose inside a element.
Adjust the table so that a description is not needed (e.g. use and elements).



A summary attribute will work for screen readers, but not show on screen.
Since it is deprecated, What else I can use?
