Export a Markdown note as PDF

[AgentEpsilon]

Description

Adds an "Export to PDF" option for Markdown notes. This feature behaves consistently with the other export options - however, due to its use of a hidden Electron window, it runs asynchronously. I've added support for output formatters to return Promises in exportData.js to support this feature.

Additionally, I have fixed exportFolder.js to actually wait for all notes to export. This wasn't a problem when note exporting was synchronous, but now it seems the extra wait time was causing tests to fail.

Issue fixed

Fixes #2013.

I can't export notes with images. Can you check?

@AgentEpsilon ping!

Sorry for the long wait. Images were not working because I was passing the formatted html through a dataurl. I fixed this through a <base> tag in the htmlContentFormatter. I also destroy the render window after the export is finished.

Hello, sorry if this question is not appropriate.

How can i add this to my BoostNote?
I only have .md, .txt and .html possible exports.

Thank you very much.

Edit: I'm using Windows Built application.

@MihaelBercic It's still in progress and hasn't been merged into the main project so you have to wait for that. Sorry for the inconvenience.
