Bug: Multiple markbooks handling

Maplewood's feature of multiple markbooks for a course is producing undesired behaviour.

In this case, one is used for regular marks, and the other is for the final exam.

The final exam markbook is (sometimes) the first HTML element, so when the extension fetches the data for the mark preview, the final exam is used, rather than the proper markbook. Note that for some odd reason, the ordering of the elements is inconsistent, so this bug only appears occasionally.

To achieve the expected behaviour, the extension must only fetch the regular markbook.

Luckily, this can be achieved easily by referring to the title attribute of the element:

<a title="Final Exam">Jun 21</a>
<a title="Mark">Jun 21</a>

The multiple markbooks feature also results in a confusing, poor user-experience, as the only visual difference between the two link buttons is a very slow-loading tooltip.

To address this problem, the proper markbook will always appear first, and with the original date text. Any additional markbooks will appear after, each on a different line, with their title as the text. For instance, the final exam markbook alongside the regular markbook will appear as follows:
