====== Project-level Optional Property: Lightbox ======

When you click on an image you have added to a page, by default it opens in a lightbox, which is a kind of pop-up that overlays the rest of the page.  This property enables you switch on/off this feature, to decide how captions are dealt with, and the background colour and opacity for lightboxes.  These settings apply to all images in the project, but there is also a page-specific Lightbox optional property which allows you adjust some of these settings just for a specific page.
