[PATCH] ox-html: Add webp as an inline image format

[PATCH] ox-html: Add webp as an inline image format

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 704 bytes --]

Hi,

By default, ox-html inlines most image links (such as png and jpg). However, 
this is currently not the case for webp.

Webp is a image format introduced in 2010 by Google, which now has widespread 
adoption in mainstream browsers. I personally would like to use it because it 
has much better compression levels than the older alternatives. For more 
information on support levels, this site has a synopsis: 
https://caniuse.com/webp

Since it has widespread adoption and support, I would like to propose adding 
it to the default filetypes ox-html inlines as images. A patch is provided 
below to do this. Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks for all your hard work,
-Jay

* lisp/ox-html.el (org-html-inline-image-rules): Add webp as an inline
  image format

Webp is an image format introduced in 2010, which now has widespread
support in browsers. ox-html can inline webp images identically to how
it does already for other image formats.

Thanks for the patch.  Pushed (a9f38b1c2) with a few additions (updated
the :package-version keyword, added a NEWS entry, and added a period
after the changelog entry.)
