  • Add PlotlyJSReference type and logic to handle various ways of referencing plotly.js in HTML output:
    • Full: Include the full plotly.js source code. The currently supported plotly.js version is now included as embedded resource in the package. HTML files using this option are self-contained and can be used offline.
    • CDN: The default. uses a script tag in the head of the generated HTML to load plotly.js from a CDN.
    • Require: Use requirejs to load plotly. This option is now used in Plotly.NET.Interactive. Unnecessary usage of require.js is now removed from all other options but this.
    • NoReference: Don't include any plotly.js reference. Useful if you want to embed the output into another page that already references plotly.
