I can't seem to find any information about how to use the lightbox attribute on the AMP-CAROUSEL tag in AMP pages..
Google Web Master tools obviously think this is invalid AMP syntax so why isn't there any documentation about this lightbox attribute and how to use it?
Even their samples have it missing? https://ampbyexample.com/advanced/image_galleries_with_amp-carousel/
Yes you are correct image_galleries_with_amp-carousel
it is not there. In palce of this You can use amp-lightbox-gallery
and amp-carousel
amp-lightbox : The amp-lightbox-gallery component provides a "lightbox” experience for AMP components (e.g., amp-img, amp-carousel). When the user interacts with the AMP element, a UI component expands to fill the viewport until it is closed by the user. Currently, only images are supported.
