Line 43 to 48, I am not entirely sure what that hashlink does. What is the setTimeout function for? Could you expand on that?

It's to make linking to headers work. Eg oscarmorridon.com/md-page#code

As the element doesn't exist at time of first load this is a work around to focus on id once content is rendered in html
