Chapter 11 Topic 5 | Link to file leads to a repository page

The Issue

In the, Run a command within a container, topic of chapter 11, we are given a link to download a file from, however, the link does not lead to the raw file so we cannot use wget to install it. In other parts of the textbook, we are given links that we can use wget on.

Chapter 11 Topic 5 [Current State]

We’re going to use [pandocker](https://github.com/dalibo/pandocker). Let’s write ourselves a little Markdown file that takes advantage of some features in [pandocker](https://github.com/dalibo/pandocker) that we can’t do with the base pandoc install:

`https://code.cs.umanitoba.ca/cs-lab-course/hello-pandocker` //Link leads to repository page, cannot `wget`

You should use this file to: //Wording sounds like the link is to a file

You should use this file to: 

Example from Chapter 10 Topic 3

Here we are given a link that works with wget, something I have come to expect unless its explicitly stated to use another method.

Re-download or copy hello.tar.gz:

`https://university-of-manitoba-computer-science.github.io/tools-n-techniques/topic07/hello.tar.gz`

Thank you for reporting this @isse-ahmed!

The styling is indeed inconsistent with your expectation. I'll update the link to point directly at the file hello-pandocker.md as you're suggesting so that readers can wget or curl the link.
