Description James Craig 2013-03-26 17:59:56 UTC 
Inline images section should recommend use of unicode characters as an alternative to inline images. Modern browsers have support for characters like "♥" and "☺", and even support the use of custom fonts to render those as colored image fonts, or an author can use image replacement techniques.
