### Overview

Merge option requires `data-merge="number_items_to_merge"` on any child element (can be nested as well). There is a sibling option called `mergeFit` which fits merged elements to screen size.

See item 6 on breakpoint below and above `1000px` screen width.

### Setup

    $('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
        items:5,
        loop:true,
        margin:10,
        merge:true,
        responsive:{
            678:{
                mergeFit:true
            },
            1000:{
                mergeFit:false
            }
        }
    });
