Publish step-by-step content sections to help guide visitors.

Usage

Via data attributes

When editing an existing article, create a list (<ul> or <ol> element) and click the Source Code ( < > ) button on the editor toolbar to view the source code of the page. Add the data-element="carousel" attribute to the list.

<ul data-element="carousel">
  <li>...</li>
  <li>...</li>
  <li>...</li>
</ul>

If data attributes are used, you will need to ensure that the allow unsage HTML setting is enabled within Guide.

Via JavaScript

The Carousel plugin can be instantiated against a list using JavaScript:

<ul id="carousel">...</ul>

<script type="text/javascript">
  ready(function() {
    var carousel = document.getElementById('carousel');
    if (carousel) {
      new Carousel(carousel, {
        // Options go here
      });
    }
  });
</script>

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript.

For data attributes, append the option name to data-.
