# Lightbox confusion???

 * I am having trouble getting the light box to work, so my first question is how
   do you use it correctly? I can’t find a good tutorial anywhere. Just grabbing
   the shortcode does nothing. Also grabbing the cheat sheet example does nothing.
 * I’d like to use it, but it seems I need some sort of work around.
 * My understanding of a lightbox is that you click a button and it displays the
   text you add in a lightbox. I can’t seem to make it work.
 * Any help is appreciated. Other shortcodes work fine. I’m using the table mostly,
   but others work, just not the lightbox.
 * Cheers
