On: HTML is a native image format, hear me out

[yeargun]

Yeah I agree

in fact this is both a packing strategy or a POV of thinking. Next browser versions could support it.

<img src="html-underdog.hmml" />

or

when tomorrow's genai models mix declarative images with rasters, then they would like something like this

or

OS -> html-underdog.html double clicks -> browser opens it.

Note: the <img> tag does not use and does not need a closing slash and never has in any HTML specification.

Same HTML specification does not support .hmml

Until they support .hmml imma close my image tags. But thanks for highlighting

(its a joke)

[assimpleaspossi → yeargun]

Closing an <img> tag with a slash has no meaning. It does nothing. And browsers ignore it. So it's pointless cause <img> is self-closing by itself.

Unless you’re the type who wants their HTML to be valid XHTML! :^)
