+of chapter headings in the

+# Option A: Send us a text file

+To add chapter markers, make a rough note of the times the sections
+begin. You can make a text file with the hh:mm:ss or mm:ss timestamps
+and the chapter headings.

+    02:29 Did this use WASM?
+    02:59 Why wasm rather than a more traditional Assembly dialect? It wouldn't be harder to implement, right?

+    05:52 Does this work with any other paren-based editing packages?

+# Option B: Edit the wiki page
+
+Another way to add chapter markers is by editing the wiki page and
+adding markup like this (example from [[2021/info/native-schedule]]):

-Chapter markers are particularly useful for Q&A sessions, since they
-can let people jump to the question they're interested in.
+Use the vidid from the help message.
+
+# Option C: Edit the VTT file
+
+Alternatively, you can edit the VTT file (Q&A: `--answers.vtt` if available) and add
+NOTE comments with the chapter headings before the subtitles that are
+part of that chapter. If you're using [subed](https://github.com/sachac/subed) to edit subtitles within
+Emacs, you can split the subtitle as needed with `M-.`
+(`subed-split-subtitle`) so that the subtitle starts with the
+question. You don't have to worry about getting the timestamps exact,
+as we can re-align them with `M-x subed-align`. Here's what that NOTE
+comment can look like:
+
+    NOTE Why did you choose an internal state versus many 'state buffers'?
+    
+    00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:16.039
+    Okay. So, the first question is why did you choose an internal state
+
+These can then be extracted with
+`emacsconf-subed-make-chapter-file-based-on-comments` from `emacsconf-subed.el`
+and included in our publishing workflow.
