## Notes

GLightbox is a pure JavaScript lightbox for images, videos, iframes and inline content. Its [documentation](https://github.com/biati-digital/glightbox/blob/master/README.md) is in the repository's README, and the project's [demo page](https://biati-digital.github.io/glightbox/) shows the lightbox in use. The homepage says the library can be used with Node.js.

## Worth knowing

Video playback uses the Plyr player, which GLightbox injects only when a slide needs it and the lightbox is open.
