Support more export formats

[jgarte]

Here are some formats that might be relevant taken from jrnl for inspiration:

  --format TYPE         Display selected entries in an alternate format.
                        TYPE can be: boxed, dates, fancy, json, markdown, md,
                        pretty, short, tags, text, txt, xml, or yaml.
                        Optional parameters:

Not all apply but having yaml, markdown, xml, and plain text output of all or a selected range of snippets might be useful.

WDYT?

Some of these, specifically those with serde crates, are easy to add as both import/export formats.

plaintext / markdown would be difficult to support as an import format, but easier for export. What would be the difference between plaintext and running the-way view?

I primarily would like to have markdown and plaintext export.

sexps would be awesome too!

It requires an index so I would need to write a for loop to get all the snippets out. I'd prefer to be able to just dump all the snippets to stdout or to dump snippets to stdout filtered by tags, etc... from the CLI directly.

I tried the-way view 14 but my cursor gets stuck. When I press Ctrl+d it kills the whole terminal:

I'm running the-way 0.15.0.

Ah oops I meant the-way list which has filtering options.

This shouldn't happen as it's just a print statement - could you file this as a separate issue?
