This is one of the use cases nbconvert<https://github.com/ipython/nbconvert> is
meant to cover, by the time it's done.
The whole print-view, etc. we have now will be discarded in favor of a
static HTML render via nbconvert.
Once nbconvert is in, then it would be trivial to also provide the markdown
/ PDF renders in the same fashion.
