I work with text files a lot, specifically lists. When updating lists, I like having the ability to quickly shift lines up and down in my editor, using a shortcut key. Alt-PgUp/PgDn for example.
I really like the Markdown format for this, as I can export and interoperate with it pretty well. Using text editor tools with it in general is also really helpful.
However, lately I have some lists that need to be edited & sorted in a native format AND which need to include imagery for context. So I have been wondering what a good native format might be.
PDF, HTML export with/without head sections would be needed.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
Compact file format. Contents & image links editable as easy as plain text ('cause it is). Images move on the rendered page as desired, but stay in their place in a filesystem - optionally changed independently from the HTML that references them. If looks matter, go crazy & add some CSS.
Sorting such lists among each other, is a few directory- or file renames away.
Win-win.
So, I came across some Markdown editors that almost get me there. But I'll probably end up designing my own workflow for limited HTML authoring.
This makes me wonder what a more image-native computer system could be like, where integration of imagery or even video is less of a third-party tooling question...
