What has been done through Week 8

• Added Cypress tests to cover weblinks view/filtering in the weblinks module.
• Added the ability to show/hide parent category for the weblinks module, which is great for backward compatibility.
• Added support for content plugins in category view for weblinks, which allows for content plugins like {toc} to create a table of content using the description of the weblinks.
• Added the ability to turn on/off prepare content, which allows for the content plugins to work, with also a note that enabling this may impact the preformance.

Next week plans 

• Fix and Research more about the existing issues in the weblinks repository.
• Add more Cypress tests to weblinks to make the test suite more powerful and cover lacking areas.
• Researching, looking for issues and looking for ways to make the implementation for the current weblinks code better and looking for better approaches to the current code implementation.
