Use slugs for attachments urls, add badge for direct writeup downloads

[damianhxy]

Description

• Generate slugged URLs for attachments
• Allow direct download of writeups from course landing page
• Fix highlighting on docs

Motivation and Context

Some classes might use assessments as "placeholders" to distribute course materials (via writeups), as compared to attachments, since assessments can be easily bulk imported and the URL is "static" (only need to change course name between semesters). This PR further facilitates that workflow by allowing students to quickly download an assessment writeup from a course landing page by clicking on a badge. This is also useful for students to view writeups of normal assessments quickly.

This PR also switches to slugged URLs for attachments, i.e. the URL is generated from the attachment name. This would be helpful down the road if a way were added to mass import attachments since attachments would become a viable replacement for assessments.

This PR also fixes a docs syntax highlighting issue introduced by #2131.

Resolves #2035

How Has This Been Tested?

Slugged Attachments

• Create a new course / assessment attachment -> observe that the URL now uses the attachment name as a slug
• Update the name of an attachment -> observe that the slug updates accordingly
• Cause a name collision -> id appended to ensure uniqueness

Writeup badges

Badge appears only for assessments with writeups. Clicking on the badge brings you to the writeup.

Docs highlighting

Run mkdocs serve locally and ensure that the bash commands on e.g. the docker compose installation page now render correctly.

Tips

### Chat There are 3 ways to chat with [CodeRabbit](https://coderabbit.ai): - Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example: - `I pushed a fix in commit .` - `Generate unit testing code for this file.` - `Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.` - Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.` - `@coderabbitai modularize this function.` - PR comments: Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.` - `@coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.` - `@coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.` - `@coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.` Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments. ### CodeRabbit Commands (invoked as PR comments) - `@coderabbitai pause` to pause the reviews on a PR. - `@coderabbitai resume` to resume the paused reviews. - `@coderabbitai review` to trigger a review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository. - `@coderabbitai resolve` resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments. - `@coderabbitai help` to get help. Additionally, you can add `@coderabbitai ignore` anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed. ### CodeRabbit Configration File (`.coderabbit.yaml`) - You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a `.coderabbit.yaml` file to the root of your repository. - Please see the [configuration documentation](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/guides/configure-coderabbit) for more information. - If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: `# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/schema.v2.json` ### Documentation and Community - Visit our [Documentation](https://coderabbit.ai/docs) for detailed information on how to use CodeRabbit. - Join our [Discord Community](https://discord.com/invite/GsXnASn26c) to get help, request features, and share feedback. - Follow us on [X/Twitter](https://twitter.com/coderabbitai) for updates and announcements.

Also, is there a way to shorten the url in the case of duplicates, "test778-cf1a1964-f358-4cff-8136-8c9791b40ec6" this seems a little too long. Would it make sense if we generated a random string usingSecureRandom and took the difference to get a shortened slug that is still unique.

Modified the code to tiebreak by appending the attachment's id

[damianhxy]

Not sure if this is desired but when for existing attachments, the url does not include the attachment name, it only includes after I rename the attachment or upon creating a new attachment

That was intended and IMO it's fine, attachments don't seem to be widely used yet, and this change is more to facilitate attachments in future courses.

According to the documentation, you'd have to do something similar to User.find_each(&:save). If you feel like it's important to generate slugs retroactively, I could put this in the migration
