Text – Chooses it to tag the selected region as text.
Figure – Tags the selected region as a figure.

Figure/Caption – Tags a selected figure and caption as a single tag. Then all the
text content in the tag is the caption, which is useful to tag photos and captions,
preventing caption text from being incorrectly added to the text around. For the
figures, alternate text may be required.

selected region as a first/second/third/fourth/fifth/sixth level heading.
Table – Tags the selected region as a table.
Cell – Tags the selected region as a table or header cell. The option is often used

text for formula tags for speech software to easily handle them.
Reference – Tags the selected region as a reference.
Note – Tags the selected region as a note.
Background/Artifact – Tags the selected region as a background element or
artifact. Background elements and artifacts neither appear in the tags tree nor in
the reflowed document, and screen readers don’t read them.
