Export should offer html or plaintext options #25

Closed Roznoshchik closed 1 year ago

Roznoshchik commented 1 year ago

Since switching over the highlights and most text inputs to support html, the actual content now being exported is html. This means that it's a bit limiting what you can use the content for if you export it from lurnby.

As a user I would want to specify when choosing my export if highlights and notes should be exported as html content or parsed for their plaintext versions.

started making custom export functions in the api work and found that it;s enough to just use bs4 to generate the plaintext versions. Need to create some unittests that ensure that this works as expected for various kinds of content.

BeautifulSoup(html, parser="html5lib").text

html would be any html text such as article note, highlight text, etc.
