You can already make next/previous groups by using:

rel="lightbox[groupname]"

in place of just:

rel="lightbox"

for your links. Just make sure to use a unique groupname for each group of (in this case) four that you are mentioning. If you want only one thumbnail per group, use no text or image in the other three links.

Now, the caption may be quite extensive, just use the title attribute of the link. Often this looks bad on hover of the thumbnail, but there are ways around that. Here is an example group of four with extensive titles/captions:


<a href="some_0.jpg" rel="lightbox[group_0]" title="<b>Group Zero</b><br>Some interesting JPEG<br>Notice the cool colors"></a>
<a href="some_0.jpg" rel="lightbox[group_0]"><img src="some_0_tbn.jpg" border=0></a>
<a href="some_1.jpg" rel="lightbox[group_0]" title="<b>Group Zero</b><br>Another interesting JPEG<br>Notice the cool caption"></a>
<a href="some_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[group_0]" title="<b>Group Zero</b><br>Yet More interesting JPEG<br>Notice the something else"></a>
<a href="some_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[group_0]" title="<b>Group Zero</b><br>Some really cool Image<br>Notice the hot colors"></a>

Notice that there are five links, only one (the second) has a thumbnail. It will be the one seen and has no title, so there will be no 'tool tip' onmouseover. The first link has a title and the same href as the second so will be selected by lightbox's remove duplicates function as the one to use when displaying the group. The others will be available via next/previous.

One final note - The remove duplicates functionality in lightbox 2.04 (current version on the author's site) is broken. Make sure to use version 2.03a from the Dynamic Drive site.
