A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I can not export a stand-alone / off-line-ready html-figure.
It is not clear, how to use the parameter include_plotlyjs correctly.

In case you're still looking for a way to export a stand-alone HTML file, this is what I use:

julia> using PlotlyJS

julia> savefig(Plot([scatter(x=1:10, y=randn(10))], Layout(hovermode="closest")), "/data/p.html"); run(`sed -i /data/p.html -e '/mathjax/d'`); run(`sed -i /data/p.html -e 's|https://cdn.plot.ly|.|'`);

The sed commands aren't needed, but I use them so that HTML file doesn't require any network requests and loads a local copy of the javascript library.

Thanks a lot, I will try :-)

I am also looking for standalone export.
It's nearly possible with PlotlyBase.to_html.
By setting the kwarg include_plotlyjs="directory", the html script tag is changed to <script src="plotly.min.js"></script> (same for mathjax kwarg). We only have to provide the javascript file ourselves.
It would be convenient to have an option include_plotlyjs="download" to download and interpolate the javascript into the HTML file for offline standalone usage.
