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

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