Before starting a PR on this, I'd like to get the design right (at least the static part) and also to clarify the repr of other xarray objects such as DataArray, Variable, Dataset.coords and Dataset.data_vars.

For Dataset.coords and Dataset.data_vars it would be pretty straightforward (we may simply display the corresponding sections in Dataset html repr).

For DataArray and Variable I have still no clear idea on what would be a good representation for the data values:

  • Option A: embed the plain-text representation of the wrapped numpy.array (or dask.array) in a HTML container (https://jsfiddle.net/43z4v2wt/1/). The result is not that bad, although monospace and sans-serif fonts do not mix very well IMO.

  • Option B: a html-formatted table for data values as well. That would be tricky for >2d arrays, it has already been discussed in other issues without real consensus.
