Bug description
In the markdown preview tool, the share button works normally on simple texts where it would show the share preview link when the button is clicked. But when pasting the content from the given assignment, the share preview link does not appear anymore.
The source of the pasted content is in the given assignment, fourth item, in Ruby - Files and Serialization lesson. From there, it is advised to copy the contents from the pastebin, and paste it in the markdown preview tool.
How to reproduce
- Visit the markdown preview tool.
- Copy the contents of the pastebin, provided by the assignment.
- Click the share button. It doesn't matter whether you are on the Write or Preview tab.
- The share preview link does not appear.
Expected behavior
- Visit the markdown preview tool.
- Copy the contents of the pastebin, provided by the assignment.
- Click the share button. It doesn't matter whether you are on the Write or Preview tab.
- The share preview link should appear.

Thanks for reporting @Monatric, I wasn't aware we were using the preview tool for that. The preview tool is only designed to work with our lesson markdown, I think we should probably swap out that resource or remove it instead making learners jump through hoops with pastebin and the markdown preview workaround.
But there is a bug here, our CDN is blocking the share button when there's code in the payload - it thinks it's an injection attack. I'll look into this one.
