folder.

  1. ``` html
  2. <head>

  4. <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/lg-zoom.css" />
  5.     <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/lg-thumbnail.css" />
  6. <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightgallery-bundle.css" />
  7. </head>
  8. ```

Then include lightgallery.umd.js into your document. If you want to include any
lightgallery plugin you can include it after lightgallery.umd.js.

  1. ``` html
  2. <body>
  3.     ....
  5.     <script src="js/lightgallery.umd.js"></script>
  6. <script src="js/plugins/lg-thumbnail.umd.js"></script>
  7.     <script src="js/plugins/lg-zoom.umd.js"></script>

The markup


lightgallery does not force you to use any kind of markup. you can use whatever
markup you want.

zoom animation.

  2. <div id="lightgallery">
  3.     <a href="img/img1.jpg" data-lg-size="1600-2400">
  4.         <img alt=".." src="img/thumb1.jpg" />
  5.     </a>
  6.     <a href="img/img2.jpg" data-lg-size="1024-800">
  7.         <img alt=".." src="img/thumb2.jpg" />
  8.     </a>
  9.     ...
  10. </div>
