No longer working with recent versions of Jupyter Book

[anjackson]

Describe the bug

context When I enable utterances as per the instructions.

expectation I expected the comment UI to show up.

bug But instead nothing appears to happen. Here's a Firefox browser console error message I ran into...

Uncaught TypeError: section is undefined

At this part of the page source (at line 4):

    sections = document.querySelectorAll("div.section");
    if (sections !== null) {
        section = sections[sections.length-1];
        section.appendChild(script);
    }

This seems to be because Jupyter Book uses <section> elements, not <div class="section"> elements (as I am guessing it used to do in the past).

problem This is a problem for people doing fun things in Jupyter Books with comments.

Reproduce the bug

1. Set up a new Jupyter Book (or upgrade an older one, in my case).
2. Configure and enable utterances.
3. Check if it shows up.
