Feature request: Image folding support (fold data: URL)

[jorgk3]

This is a follow-up to:
https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/issues/147#issuecomment-449745497

I use the CSS suggested in that comment, but to make image folding work, I still need the patches as described in
https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds/issues/147#issuecomment-448415677

I've just tried again with the latest release 1.4.12.

The background to this request is the following: As you are aware, Ace is embedded into the Thunderbird add-on ThunderHTMLedit. Each time a new version of add-on is uploaded to addons.thunderbird.net, it needs to go through a review process. The reviewers there prefer to approve a "stock standard" 3rd-party library and not a patched one. Also for me it would be easier to move to new versions if I didn't have to patch them.

So please let me know if you would consider this request, and if so, whether I can help in any form.

Yes, "native" image folding would be lovely to have. Currently we're hacking it in ThunderHTMLedit.

To clarify, this would be code folding support in the HTML and CSS modes for:

<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4QCWRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgABgEOAAIAAAAYAAAAVgEaAAUAAAABAAAAbgEbAAUAAAABAAAAdgEoAAMAAAABAAI ..."/>

Which would be useful as those images can be very big (800 KB image would be a lot of base64 letters).

That sounds like a useful feature yes.

We hack it into place and it looks like this:
