Re: New SyncMedia draft

Marisa,

something went wrong.

I guess

https://w3c.github.io/sync-media-pub/sync-media.html <https://w3c.github.io/sync-media-pub/sync-media.html>

is definitely the wrong URL, but I also tried

https://w3c.github.io/sync-media-pub/ <https://w3c.github.io/sync-media-pub/>

which gives a 404, too. 


I then did a trick that I had to do several times after the branch name has changed: switched the gh-pages features altogether and then switch it on again. I then got an error message:


[[[
The page build failed for the `main` branch with the following error:

The tag `example` on line 76 in `docs-src/pages/sync-media-with-json.md` is not a recognized Liquid tag. For more information, see https://docs.github.com/github/working-with-github-pages/troubleshooting-jekyll-build-errors-for-github-pages-sites#unknown-tag-error.
