* Add rel=”lightbox” attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox.
Example: (Basically, this is all you need)
<a href=”img1.jpg” rel=”lightbox” title=”my caption”>thumbnail1</a>
Optional: Use the title attribute if you want to show a caption.* For image set you need to add rel=”lightbox[roadtrip] attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox.
Image set example:
<a href=”images/image-1.jpg” rel=”lightbox[roadtrip]” title=”my caption”>image #1</a>
<a href=”images/image-2.jpg” rel=”lightbox[roadtrip]” title=”my caption”>image #2</a>
<a href=”images/image-3.jpg” rel=”lightbox[roadtrip]” title=”my caption”>image #3</a>
