Research direction

Start by reviewing Hyperscript.jl's current HTML rendering behavior and the Julia Base.showable MIME examples in the issue. Determine the intended scope for image and audio support, including how base64 output should be represented, before defining tests or completion criteria.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

using Images

img = load("my dog.jpg")

@assert Base.showable(MIME"image/jpeg"(), img)

m("div", x)

Gives me

<div>
Images.Image{blablalba} blablab
</div>

Hyperscript.jl could check Base.showable for MIME types like images and audio, and base64-encode the result. This would give

<div>
<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,blablablalblkdjflgj42i9832d..." />
</div>

Do you think that this fits within the scope of the project?
