title: Maintaining :active class after customizing Carousel indicators
body: <p>After removing the class carousel-indicators from the ol tag the active class doesn't cycle through my li's anymore. The reason I removed carousel-indicators class was because I want to replace the dots with letters.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit: To clarify, my carousel indicators are no longer highlighted when the slides are active my question is how do I achieve that after removing the carousel-indicator class.</strong></p>
