Description

Clarify that the embedded pdf viewer in the browser may also display a download button, regardless of this option. Also improve the student-facing behaviour of the download button:

  • add help text for how to download
  • make the link open in a new tab so students won't lose their place in the course.

Thanks @xitij2000 :)

Note that I'm ignoring the failing pylint tests in CI, because I didn't change any python files and the target branch has the same error.
