<p>This plugin was written to take care of the invalid HTML that WordPress produces when using the <code>[gallery]</code> shortcode.</p>
<p>It does a bit more than that though.  It will integrate with many Lightbox-type scripts and allow you to do much cooler things with your galleries.  Plus, it has a couple of extra options that you can play around with.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Uses HTML5 <code><fig></code> and <code><figcaption></code> elements.</li>
<li>Integrates with <a href="http://schema.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Schema.org microdata</a>.</li>
<li>Uses the <code>aria-describedby</code> attribute to make images + captions more accessible to users with disabilities.</li>
<li>Validates the invalid code that WordPress spits out.</li>
<li>Several options on how you want your gallery images.</li>
<li>Allows multiple galleries in a single post.</li>
<li>Ability to set the number of images shown in each gallery.</li>
<li>Ability to exclude or include any images from your gallery.</li>
<li>Doesn’t load any extra CSS or JavaScript unless you choose to do so.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Integrates with 18 different Lightbox-type scripts</h3>

<p>WordPress plugin used to overlay images on the current page into neat Javascript-powered overlay popups.<br />
This plugin includes the new Slimbox 1.64 javascript written by Christophe Beils and got transformed into a WordPress Plugin by me.<br />
Slimbox is a 7kb visual clone of the popular Lightbox JS v2.4 by Lokesh Dhakar, written using the ultra compact mootools framework.<br />
It was designed to be small, efficient, more convenient and 100% compatible with the original Lightbox v2.</p>
