Description

Can one embed CodePan snippets into an HTML presentation and show the presentation offline?

My specific usecase is teaching JS, and sometimes classrooms have internet connection issues.

Research direction
The issue asks if CodePan snippets can be embedded into HTML presentations and work offline. To answer this, first explore CodePan's source code (e.g., in src/) to see if there is an embed or export feature, such as generating an iframe or standalone HTML file. Check the repository's README and docs for any mention of embedding. If no embed feature exists, this could become a feature request. Also investigate how CodePan handles offline storage (likely via Service Worker or localStorage) to determine if embedded content from other sources can be served locally. Look at similar tools like CodePen for reference on embed techniques.
