Description Gert van Valkenhoef 2011-12-16 01:50:54 UTC
All modern browsers support the href="data:..." URL scheme [1], as described in RFC 2397 [2]. This scheme allows the linked data to be placed inline in the HTML code. For example this could be a MIME (base 64) encoded PNG.

Implementation of this scheme would be incredibly useful for copy/paste of e.g. tables containing mixed text and (generated) images.

[2] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397

(I'm willing to attempt an implementation if someone can point me to the right place to start.)

Thanks for new idea
It is indeed interesting to place many small files in one big html and be sure that pictures will not lost after transferring to another comp.

Alas, I can not. Try search word "html" among names of source files. If it placed in folder "filter" then it is what we need, IMHO.

I mark this enhancement request as 'NEW' because I can't find any duplicate so far.

I'm afraid I can't either provide any code pointers.
