Cleaner Gallery

This plugin was written to take care of the invalid HTML that WordPress produces when using the [gallery] shortcode.

It does a bit more than that though. It will integrate with many Lightbox-type scripts and allow you to do much cooler things with your galleries. Plus, it has a couple of extra options that you can play around with.

Features

• Uses HTML5 <fig> and <figcaption> elements.
• Integrates with Schema.org microdata.
• Uses the aria-describedby attribute to make images + captions more accessible to users with disabilities.
• Validates the invalid code that WordPress spits out.
• Several options on how you want your gallery images.
• Allows multiple galleries in a single post.
• Ability to set the number of images shown in each gallery.
• Ability to exclude or include any images from your gallery.
• Doesn’t load any extra CSS or JavaScript unless you choose to do so.
