Classes

By default, items are center aligned and their width is determined by their content width and/or any styling that restricts their width.

To change the styling of the items, add the following classes to the viewport:

Class	Description
.m-fluid	Causes the width of items to resize to match the viewport width.
.m-center	Causes the items to be center aligned, not left aligned (the default).
