notebooks download command

[shadoof]

The download command in notebook-kit is currently pretty basic: one notebook per command, I believe, and it seems to download a file with the same header no matter what:

<!doctype html>
<notebook theme="air">
  <title>Untitled</title>

I guess we should have/will have options to set both theme and title in the downloads command?

And it would be great to be able to use wild cards to download a batch of notebooks sharing a naming convention, or in a list. e.g. npx notebooks download https://observablehq/@<myid>/sketchs-*

(I realize this may not be a high priority at this time during the launch of 2.0 but thought I should lay down a marker since I am already sorting out a workflow in which notebooks are edited on new Observable and then downloaded for local preparation and static site production.)

Now I see that, as @tophtucker pointed out in another context (on Observable Forum , the notebook-kit is not really keeping up. Its current download command makes all code cells (definitely all .js and .ts cells) into .ojs cells.

The download command is currently using the old API (because that’s the only thing that existed at the time it was written). We need to rewrite it to use the new API which can generate HTML natively.
