A MkDocs plugin supports image lightbox with [GLightbox](https://github.com/biati-digital/glightbox).



GLightbox is a pure javascript lightbox library with mobile support.



[Live demo](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/) with [Material for MkDocs](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/).



## Dependency



1. GLightbox javascript file and CSS file

   1. GLightbox==3.2.0



## Usage



1. Install the plugin from PyPI



    ```bash

    pip install mkdocs-glightbox

    ```



2. Add ```glightbox``` plugin to your mkdocs.yml plugins sections:



    ```yaml

    plugins:

       - glightbox

    ```



3. All images will be added to the lightbox effect automatically, except images in an anchor tag and emoji images from [pymdown-extensions](https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/emoji/).



4. You may customize the plugin by passing options in mkdocs.yml:



    ```yaml

    plugins:

       - glightbox:

           touchNavigation: true

           loop: false

           effect: zoom

           slide_effect: slide

           width: 100%

           height: auto

           zoomable: true

           draggable: true

           skip_classes:

             - custom-skip-class-name

           auto_caption: false

           caption_position: bottom

           background: white

           shadow: true

           manual: false

    ```

      2. [Disable by page](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/flexibility/disable-by-page/): Disable the lightbox for specific pages. Suitable for a few amount of pages that don't need the lightbox effect.

      3. [Enable by image](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/flexibility/disable-by-page-enable-by-image/): Disable the lightbox for specific pages but enable some images on those pages. Suitable for a few amount of images that need the lightbox effect.

      4. [Disable globally but enable by image or page](https://blueswen.github.io/mkdocs-glightbox/flexibility/enable-by-image-or-page/): Disable the lightbox globally but enable specific images or specific pages. Suitable for a large number of images or pages that don't need the lightbox effect.

> [!NOTE] 

> If this is your first time using the MkDocs plugin feature, you should know that MkDocs includes a default plugin named `search`. If you want to keep the search feature, you need to add the `search` plugin back to the `plugins` list.



## How it works



1. Copy GLightbox script file into `site/assets/javascripts/` directory and CSS file into `site/assets/stylesheets/` directory

2. Import GLightbox script and CSS file and add javascript code on each page excluded disabled pages

3. Search all image tags and warp with an anchor tag for GLightbox excluded images with skip class or already warped with an anchor tag
