I got lightbox to work.  I had to do the following:

- install lightbox in a folder on the server
- add the necessary javascript to the HTML headers using
$HTMLHeaderFmt in config.php
- add the CSS to the necessary pages either by adding it to the skin
template or through a local CSS file or (in my case) StylePage
(Cookbook/CSSInWikiPages)
- fix the URLs in the CSS and lightbox.js so that they pointed to the
right place in the server

Then you can cause an image to be handled using lightbox by setting
%rel=lightbox%.

I couldn't figure out how to set the <a title= attribute.  I'm not
even sure if this is possible--anyone know?

Anyhow, I'd bet you'd have to follow the same general strategy for moo.fx.

I'd be willing to write this up into a recipe if anyone was
interested.  Maybe I could go into a little more detail.
