Hi,

I opened [an issue](https://github.com/SimonDanisch/JSServe.jl/issues/92) at JSServe.jl, but I’m afraid it doesn’t catch a lot of attention and it’s not really a bug. Maybe someone else here knows?:

I have trouble making an offline plot similar to the surface plot in the [documentation of WGLMakie.jl](http://juliaplots.org/WGLMakie.jl/stable/). I don’t want to have sliders, just a movable camera. I don’t manage to export to a standalone html using [this example](https://github.com/SimonDanisch/JSServe.jl/blob/master/examples/basic_offline_makie.jl), also. And [this example](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/WGLMakie.jl/blob/master/test/offline_export.jl) doesn’t work for me. Does someone have an easy example to do this?

Thanks

I think it is a bug: it looks like the API has changed (new `UrlSerializer` constructor, `dom2html`→`page_html`…) and `export_standalone` has not been updated. I tried a couple of things but I also could not get an export example to work.

I haven’t gotten around to update those functions + docs yet…  
I think your best chance currently would be to use the approach with Page from [Home · WGLMakie.jl](http://juliaplots.org/WGLMakie.jl/stable/), but manually print the outputs to an io:

```julia
using JSServe, WGLMakie

page = Page(offline=true, exportable=true);
page_html = sprint() do io
    show(io, MIME"text/html"(), page)
    show(io, MIME"text/html"(), scatter(1:4))
    show(io, MIME"text/html"(), volume(rand(4, 4, 4)))
end

write("test.html", page_html)

```

thanks for this little hack, it works for me. I understand that it’s a big project that is wip and thank you for doing it, sorry I can’t help much.

@sdanisch are there updated instructions for WGLMakie plots in Documenter pages?
