<li><strong>Centered Slides</strong> — display the active slide in the center with partial neighbors visible on both sides</li>
<li><strong>Auto Height</strong> — carousel height adapts dynamically to the active slide’s content</li>
<li><strong>Mousewheel / Trackpad Scroll</strong> — navigate slides by scrolling the mouse wheel or trackpad</li>
