The HTML gallery plugin does not currently offer a way to watermark the thumbnails and/or large images it produces for the gallery.

As a workaround, you can use digiKam to add all of the images you want in the gallery to a new queue ("Item" menu, then "Add to New Queue"). Then double-click the "Add Watermark" tool and adjust its settings to suit, then  in the "Target" tab (bottom-left pane of the queue window) untick "Use Original Album", and choose an empty folder (ideally create a new folder with the "New Album" button and call it something like "BatchQueueOutput"). Then run the queue and you'll get a folder with watermarked images which you can select for use with the HTML gallery tool.

But this is not ideal because it's quite a few additional steps, and because it would make it harder to create multi-album galleries without a fair bit of extra work.

So adding a watermark option to the HTML gallery plugin would be a better solution.
