Yep, you're exactly right. The SL blog uses Jekyll, so I'm limited to just using a markdown document with some ugly hacks.

Essentially, there's a div before each paragraph specifying the timestamp in its id - all done manually. I use `querySelectorAll` to get a list of those divs, extract the timestamps from the IDs, and store them in an array.

In the audio's `timeUpdate`, I check which paragraph we're on, and if it has changed then scroll to the next sibling of the timestamp div.

No magic bullet sadly!
