Create a text Widget without displaying it. The widget will be used to store the notebook's name which is otherwise only available in the front-end.

In [17]:

Get the current notebook's name by pushing JavaScript to the browser that sets the notebook name in a string widget.

Create the widget that will allow the user to Export the current notebook.

Export the notebook when the export button is clicked.
