Objective

Whenever a course code appears in a course's description, prereqs, or coreqs, link ScottyLabs' corresponding course website.

This should support both xx-xxx and xxxxx formats (with or without a dash), but keep in mind the ScottyLabs link will only work with xx-xxx, so you might need to reformat.

For example, /course 15-122 returns an embed with

... This course prepares students for 15-213 and 15-210. ...

These two course codes should be linked like so:

... This course prepares students for 15-213 and 15-210. ...

Suggested Approach

Edit src/commands/course.ts. Import SCOTTYLABS_URL from constants.ts and the hyperlink function from discord.js.

You may find it helpful to use the string replace function with a regular expression.

## Objective Whenever a course code appears in a course's description, prereqs, or coreqs, link ScottyLabs' corresponding course website. This should support both `xx-xxx` and `xxxxx` formats (with or without a dash), but keep in mind the ScottyLabs link will only work with `xx-xxx`, so you might need to reformat. For example, `/course 15-122` returns an embed with > ... This course prepares students for 15-213 and 15-210. ... These two course codes should be linked like so: > ...
