-The size parameter should accept relative values, like "100%". When including large images, I would like it to be scaled relative to the available space.
-
-> 100% of what?
->
-> The purpose of `[[!img]]` is to scale large images, for example photos, down
-> to a more web-suitable size. When ikiwiki rebuilds the website, it cannot
-> know how large visitors' web browser windows are going to be, so it cannot
-> scale the image relative to the size of a visitor's web browser window.
->
-> The closest thing it could do would be to not scale the image at all
-> (potentially a very large download if it's a high-resolution photo),
-> and use CSS or `<img sizes=...>` to ask the visitor's web browser to scale
-> the image relative to something the web browser knows, such as the viewport
-> size.
->
-> With HTML5 `<img sizes="..." srcset="...">`, it would be possible to extend
-> `[[!img]]` to produce more than one resized image and let the visitor's
-> browser choose which one to download, but I'm not sure what a good syntax
-> for that would look like...
->
-> "The available space" is not something we can use, because current HTML
-> standards do not offer that. In HTML5 it is possible to base sizes on the
-> viewport (window) size, but the available space (excluding sidebars etc.)
-> is not something the browser can know in advance, because it needs to know
-> how large images are before it carries out layout calculations, and it
-> needs to carry out layout calculations before it can know the available
-> space.
