@mrmlnc did work on this one a while ago
See #9002

But that didn't make it and one of the main reasons was that the dependent version of the emmet module go too big.

@mrmlnc You want to give this another try in the new emmet extension?

@ramya-rao-a Can you elaborate on why this doesn't fit anymore?

[ramya-rao-a]

@jens1o As explained in #27978 (comment), there hasn't been any traction on this feature request. Neither in terms of user interest or in terms of PRs from the community.

We can't just use the Emmet library that does support this feature because we have moved on to using the newer Emmet modules.

@sergeche Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there are no Emmet modules currently that can help with this feature. Do you have plans of adding any?

[jens1o]

That's a pity. :/

[sergeche]

There is such action in Atom: https://github.com/emmetio/atom-plugin/blob/master/lib/actions/convert-data-url.js
Since this action requires user interaction and file access, it should have editor-specific implementation mostly.

Thanks for the pointer @sergeche

Re-opening this, if anyone is interested in contributing.

[jens1o]

Yeeey.. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I lack of time to get used to the refactored codebase :/
