Misleading documentation - the fact that Splide doesn't support autoHeight for horizontal sliders should be displayed way more prominently!!

Hi Devs,

First things first: thank you for your hard work on this awesome slider script. I love Splide. Or, at least, I loved Splide.

On the main Options page, you don’t disclose the fact that Splide doesn’t support autoHeight for horizontal sliders.

I find this really awkward and misleading — this info is paramount, and not something that should be indirectly included only on a secondary “visit this page for more info” page.

This evening I spent 3 hours trying to fix what I thought was an autoHeight bug — only after 2.5 hours of messing with the mount and paging processes did I finally realize there was no bug at all: Splide simply doesn’t support this feature.

If I had known this from the start, I would have used a different slider and saved myself valuable time.

Please try to be a bit more professional and disclose this info in the main documentation — help other developers avoid wasting hours trying to fix something that isn’t even part of the Splide feature set (while it is available by default in just about every other slider script).

Thanks.

To do type of autoheight you're probably thinking of..

.splide__list { align-items: flex-start; }

This would make each slide the height of it's contents, rather than being stretched to fit overall the slider height. It's stretched due to the flex layout, so just aligning to the flex-start will give them their natural height.
