[Notebook] Users should not be limited to plain text in raw notebook entries; newlines should be honored.

Notebook has potential to be used for operator logs if it has a fully functional html or otherwise text editor. Most of the features needed are already there, but it needs to accept at least the following features:

1. Basic text editing features (font/headers/lists/bullets)
2. Basic image features (not just from snapshots)
3. Basic tabling features.

There are some other intricacies that would be nice such as the user that filed the note, but I believe that's outside of the MCT scope.

Definitely agree on the requested features as above. @mudinthewater Ideas, thoughts on the following?

• Is there currently an issue with newlines? In that, if you paste something with newline chars, the entry ignores them? If so, we should fix.
• Markdown with an embedded simple GUI (like the one here in GitHub perhaps?) seems like a good starting point, and there are 3rd party plugins we might leverage to support this. If this sounds like a good plan, any in particular that you like?
• Imagery becomes a slightly more complex issue, mainly around storage. This is a general issue as well; using images in Display Layouts is problematic as we have no ability for users to upload and store images; they must use images already on a server that doesn't have issues with cross-domain requests.
• We're planning to change the way the Enter key currently works because the current approach confused 100% of our testers in a recent user test. Rather than adding a newline/return, it will exit entry mode and save the entry, same as tabbing out. Users will be able to add line returns with Crtl + Enter.

I'll retest but I was attempting to put a list of commands exected to try to get a fake pass log in there but after saving it, the newlines appeared to have been disappeared.

I'm not picky about implementation - my vote is whichever is easiest!

CORs is such a pain - I'm assuming I can work around this by mucking around the JSON in couch like I usually do.

I think we've got this covered in #7084 and #7048. If we're missing some features beyond this, please feel free to reopen.
