When you build your site, the plugin scans all image tags and wraps them with the GLightbox JavaScript library, which provides a modal image viewer with touch navigation, zoom, drag controls, and mobile support. The plugin uses selectolax to parse and modify the HTML.\n\nYou control the behavior through mkdocs.yml configuration: enable or disable the lightbox globally, skip specific images by CSS class, customize effects and animations, add captions from image alt text, group images into galleries, and toggle features like zoom and dragging. You can also disable the lightbox for entire pages or enable it selectively on pages where it's otherwise disabled, making it flexible for mixed documentation styles.","worth_installing":"Yes. The plugin is production-stable, actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and solves a common documentation need (interactive images) with minimal configuration. Install it if you use MkDocs and want lightbox functionality without manual HTML editing."},"id":"mkdocs-glightbox","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-glightbox","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-glightbox.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mkdocs-glightbox/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-23","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mkdocs-glightbox","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"MkDocs plugin supports image lightbox with GLightbox."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1432198,"position":3909,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.2"}
