    -webkit-mask-composite: source-in; /* source-in behaves like intersect in webkit */
}

/* Fallback/Alternative composite logic if browser support varies:
   Actually, combining a linear gradient (vertical fade) and radial gradient (center fade) 
   where we want BOTH fades to apply (AND logic) requires 'intersect' or 'source-in'.
   However, radial-gradient(transparent center) means "show nothing in center".
   linear-gradient(transparent ends) means "show nothing at ends".
   So we want to show only where BOTH are black.
   
   Let's simplify. A single radial gradient can handle center fade.
   A linear gradient handles top/bottom.
   
   Wait, "fade in the center also".
   User said: "fade both at top and bottom to look mixed with the other sections & fade in the center also"
   
   If I make the center transparent, the text is readable.
   If I make top/bottom transparent, it blends.
   
   So yes, transparent at top, bottom, and center.
   
   Mask 1: Linear Gradient (Vertical): Transparent -> Black -> Transparent
   Mask 2: Radial Gradient (Center): Transparent -> Black
   
   Composite: We want the intersection of the visible parts.
   Visible parts are (Middle Vertical) AND (Outer Radial).
   
   -webkit-mask-composite: source-in; works for intersection.
