To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox">image #1</a>
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[][my caption]">image #1</a>
To show a caption either use the title attribute or put in the second set of square brackets of the rel attribute.
If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 2]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 3]">image #3</a>
There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.
If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightbox[][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]' >image #1</a>
