Surely language standards should not include pictures in the input files!

Unless the "language" itself is defined by pictures and diagrams.

Long, long ago, I used to use the Acta outliner on classical Mac OS to provide source files for a Forth addition I'd written. In Acta outlines, a topic could be text or a picture (or even a sound), so inline media content was easy, and the Forth addition made it easy to parse the source text from Acta text topics as if it were plain ordinary text files. I sometimes used the inline pictures and sound as content rather than just commentary, e.g. image and sound resources used in writing games, etc.
