Brilliant!! This was actually what I was expecting.
But it makes me think - are there any code editors that you can literally just drag pictures in, or put in urls and it replaces them with pictures? I could be stuck in some IDE ghetto and not even know about these things.
It shouldbe a minor mode that renders images instead of image-like URLs. Not that impossible to do. It's a bit beyond my magical powers, but I am sure it also ends with a ")"

You can probably do that with Emacs ;-)
(insert-image (create-image "/path/to/image/file")) inserts an image into a buffer.
But I'm not sure one would want to actually use that while editing; emacs is not very good about flowing text around the displayed image.
the code to do it starts with (

auctex does the rendering-inside-text part, but I don't know of one that does it for html img tags
can't be hard
There's aview (ASCII-art image viewer which uses libaa); aview can render Ascii pictures to stdout.
aview solves a different problem
You can paste images into Dr.Racket.
Looks interesting... supports languages called Racket and Swindle...?!

You can also have it generate huge text with semicolons.
