Suppose I have to share a plot I made using Plots.jl with the plotly back-end. Can I export it in a format that would let a user (without anything Julia related installed) be able to open it and interact it with the way you can on the plotly() output?

Try save it as html and share the html file. Check if something like `savefig(“myplot.html”)` might work.
