## Description

This WordPress Plugin adds Lightbox feature to the core Gallery block with a simple
toggle button. Easily enable or disable it for any gallery block by selecting ‘media
file’ under the ‘link to’ dropdown. Once selected, the Lightbox toggle will appear.
It also supports custom coded galleries through a filter (check FAQ).

[dLightbox.js](https://github.com/tdmrhn/dLightbox.js) is fully responsive, supporting
touch, mousewheel, keyboard, and mouse drag interactions, double click or tap/touch
to zoom original image, build-in thumbnails, as well as slide counters and figcaption.
With no dependency on jQuery, dLightbox.js ensures optimal viewing experiences across
all devices.

Although extremely lightweight at only 2.78kb gzipped for both dLightbox.js and 
dLightbox.css, the plugin only loads assets into the page if there is a core Gallery
block or custom selectors defined via a filter.
