Just dug into the library we’re using for the lightbox (Featherlight: https://github.com/noelboss/featherlight/) and unfortunately I’m not seeing any support for HTML inside the image lightbox feature.
No and that’s the same story across the board with other lightboxes as fast as I can see. I can code info into exif data or the image caption/description, for some lightboxes, but it’s not very nice dealing with thousands of entries.
