it was deceptively easy: just expand the regex here to include IPA vowels. The bad news is it’ll be much more challenging to expand support to CELEX labels bacause of some overlap with CMU consonant labels

for my quant/comp course, I use Canvas strictly for keeping track of grades & announcements, and all the content is on GH. I use github classroom, so i wind up spinning up an organization for each course, and put course notes etc on a gh page lin511-2026.github.io
