Export/Import Tab or Workspace

[reformman1001]

Allow exporting a single tab (or perhaps a workspace) into a proprietary file that can be later opened with Wave and executed. Export to something like a PDF or Markdown would also be cool, but is secondary.

The broader goal is to have something like a Jupyter Notebook for shell commands.

Simple example of this vision:

All related issues:

#415 - Editable Command Blocks
#416 - Command Block Reordering
#417 - Editable Markdown Blocks
#418 - Export/Import Tab or Workspace
#419 - Allow All Blocks in a Tab To Be Executed Again
#420 - Allow Tab or Workspace Shell to be Restarted
#421 - Undo for Deleting a Command Block

Yes, this is on the roadmap. I'm experimenting with exporting to/from markdown (we just need to figure out how to deal with the proprietary data).

Quick question -- for your workbooks, would you want to export the output or not export the output (or having a setting to control that)?

For me personally it would be better to have the output. If you open a notebook after 6 months and forget most of what you did, it's handy to see what the "correct" output looked like.

I think Runme notebooks are a modified markdown, could be a start. They have other issues which prevent me from benefiting from them, but the format itself looks nice.
