I can't find a suitable word to describe the downsides of using HTML tables for displaying images here.

But there are alternatives allowing a lot of details without bandwith problems.

And less so I had to use the latter multiple times in the past and it was kind of bothersome moving characters by hitting the bar.

But a nodelet-hack to extend the ability of the local markup to show base64 or SVG could be an easy proof of concept.

Alas I doubt that's our top priority here.

FWIW here a POC:

The Perl Onion as Base64
<Reveal this spoiler or all spoilers in this node or all in this thread>

The Perl Onion as SVG
<Reveal this spoiler>

UPDATE

You can copy either code into your Free Nodelet Settings to see the effect. (Don't forget to activate the free nodelet to be shown in your nodelet tab)
