Misleading CSS class related documentation

[revolter]

This page mentions that "ob-timelines must be specified" as the CSS class, but doing so causes an event to be skipped in horizontal timelines, which is the opposite of the documentation stating that "invalid timeline events will be skipped".

Hello, I agree there is some messy documentation that I could clear up. Thanks for bringing this up.

The issue here is that there's essentially 2 arguments for classes for a timeline event. We have both class and data-classes

<div
  <!-- this argument here is what the link you gave is talking about -->
  class="ob-timelines" 
  data-title=""
  <!-- this argument is for custom classes -->
  data-classes=""
  data-color=""
  data-type=""
  data-start-date=""
  data-end-date=""
  data-era=""
  data-path=""
  data-tags=""
> some content </div>

Oh, I read the entire documentation thinking it's the same.

We should add a clear notice the first time each of them is mentioned, similar to this:

class (note that this is different from data-classes!)

and

data-classes (note that this is different from class!)
