Image sets
<a href="images/fullSizedImage1.png" rel="lightbox[Arbitrary Set ID]">
<img src="images/thumbSizedImage1.png" />
</a>
<a href="images/fullSizedImage2.png" rel="lightbox[Arbitrary Set ID]">

</a>Captions
<a href="images/fullSizedImage.png" rel="lightbox" title="An optional caption goes here and can contain anything, even <strong>HTML</strong>">
<img src="images/thumbSizedImage.png" />
</a>Re-initialization
Useful for when you add elements you'd like to lightbox after microbox is already initialized.
microbox.init()Note: This will skip over any elements that are already initialized. If you changed a trigger's href or rel attribute dynamically after microbox is already initialized, you'll need to generate a brand new element so microbox doesn't skip over it.
