Installation & Use

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@explorables/nah_dah_dah_nah_nah_opus_1984"></script>
</head>
<body class="avenir pa3 pa5-ns tj">
<div id="explorable_container"></div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
nah_dah_dah_nah_nah_opus_1984.load("explorable_container")
</script>
</html>The header <script> tag loads the bundle, the <div> in the document is the container in which the explorable gets anchored when the function nah_dah_dah_nah_nah_opus_1984.load() gets executed at the bottom. The load function needs the <div> container id as an argument.
