Seems to require jQuery, yet doesn't seem explicit about it

[kbadk]

I'm trying to get a simple example working with the Getting Started guide. The page lists required scripts

<script src="js/d3.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/epoch.min.js"></script>

But then goes on to use jQuery. All examples in the documentation seems to use jQuery and I can't find a link to the API anywhere, so I can figure out how to create a chart without jQuery.

Is jQuery required? If so, the documentation ought to say so. If not, the documentation should (in my opinion) include examples without jQuery – not everybody is willing to use jQuery. A link to an API documentation would also do the trick.

Yes, in fact You need the following line

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.slim.min.js"></script>

And make sure You use v3 of d3 as Epoch breaks compatibility after v3, current is v5 though.

<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

This needs to be in the docs. Specially the part about d3 v3 being the requirement. Seriously!

Can you please specifiy that explicitly? This library might not only be used on a website but on other systems where jQuery is not an option.
