Context

This is the second step in improving how we view images within GitLab:

  1. View images in lightbox #377398 (closed)
  2. View images in a markdown table with pagination (this issue)
  3. View gallery of images in markdown table #255621 (closed)
  4. View gallery in design management #255621 (closed)

Problem

It's common to post markdown tables like with images. However, when I want to view a close up of the image, it opens in a tab and I lose the title of the column:

Proposal

View markdown tables in a lightbox like so:

Frame_48

  • Title is title of the column
  • User can page through images (reuse design management UI)
  • User can download image (reuse design management UI)

Handling different sorts of tables

Table 1:

Col 1 Col 2
download download

Frame_49

Table 2:

Col 1 Col 2
download download-1

  • Page left to right
  • When furthest to right, move down a row:
