I'd like to request the ability to hide caption on tap (i.e. adding a CSS class to the carousel when tapped, so that captions superimposed over images can be hidden).
Let me know if you'd like any further details.
We have some images with very long captions. For example:

Our 'house style' is to float the caption over the image with a translucent background, but this really requires the caption to hide when tapped so the user can see the whole image.
Any other suggestions?
@georgecrawford Not yet, but we should definitely support this. We have one option now to use amp-fit-textwhich would play with font size to try to fit more text, but that's obviously not enough for a caption this long. We'll find a way to accommodate this, just need to evaluate couple of options.

I moved the pagination request to a new ticket: https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/2512
I'm closely watching https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/1866, which would help greatly here. A simple carousel (with no captions, or truncated text using amp-fit-text) in combination with a lightbox to show larger images and full captions would be ideal.

I created a pen that will hide/show a caption on an amp carousel using css selectors. Hope this helps.

Rolling into the next milestone
@enatork Thanks for that example. I simplified it to make it a "tap-image-to-view-caption" flow using figure and figcaption. Works pretty well!
@enatork thats pretty awesome!
Closing as Lightbox 2.0 will have this feature.
