I was just following the new draft dask repr, and it seems the tools are in place to be able to autogenerate a html repr of a full xarray dataset which includes an image, e.g. autogenerate something like:

It seems to me @benbovy that 90% of your ToDo list is nice-to-have or special-case stuff which can be left for later? The main thing that has to be done before merging is tests? If that bare-bones version gets merged (even as a hidden feature) then others can start having a go at adding images like dask?

We have done something similar using inline svg (see, e.g., https://scipp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/data-structures.html#Dataset). It is basically a hack for testing right now, but is sufficient for auto-generated illustration in the documentation.

I am pretty impressed by the html representation previewed in https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1627. Since our data structures are very similar I would be happy to contribute to this output rendering somehow, since we could then also benefit from it (with a few tweaks, probably). So let me know if I can help out somehow (unfortunately I do not know much html and css, just C++ and a bit of Python).
