Setup

1. Create a target element on the page
   <div id="timeline"></div>
var target = document.getElementById("timeline");

2. Create a timeline
   var timeline = new Timeline(target, {});
   The arguments are

   • A DOM node into which to insert the timeline.
   • A map of optional parameters, including:
     • width: the width of the timeline display in pixels (defaults to the offsetWidth of the target).
     • length: the length of the timeline in seconds.
     • start: the initial starting time of the viewing window.
     • end: the initial ending time of the viewing window.

3. Create the cues and add them to the timeline
   timeline.addTextTrack(TimedText.WebVTT.parse(vttdata), "track-id", "en");
   The arguments are

   • An array of Cue objects or a TextTrack object
   • A track name
   • Language

4. Add event handlers

   // addtrack is fired whenever a text track is added to the timeline
   // and passes the added track object to the listener
   timeline.on('addtrack',function(track) {});
   
   // removetrack is fired whenever a text track is removed from the
   // timeline and passes the removed track object to the listener
   timeline.on('removetrack',function(track) {});
   
   // select is fired whenever a segment is selected and passes the
   // segment object (which includes the backing cue object) to the listener
   timeline.on('select',function(seg) {
   	var cue = seg.cue;
   	....
   });
   
   // unselect is fired when the selection is terminated
   timeline.on('unselect',function(seg) {});
   
   // jump is fired whenever the timeline alters its current time internally;  
   // e.g., when a repeat point is hit or when the time marker is moved manually.
   timeline.on('jump', function(time) {
   	controls.currentTime = time/1000;
   });
   
   // timeupdate is fired whenever the timeline's time marker is moved;  
   // e.g., when timeline.currentTime is set by external code
   timeline.on('timeupdate', function(time) {});
   
   // abRepeatEnabled is fired whenever the AB repeat functionality is turned on
   timeline.on('abRepeatEnabled',function() {});
   
   // update is fired whenever the contents of a segment change
   timeline.on('update', function(seg) {});
