Wulf's Requirements

While markdown is pretty great for most things, I can even see simple html+css going strong. There is a few things that are quality of life that we have now, or would like to get, that I don't know how to achieve. These may only be relevant for a few pages, that may be semi-manual or generative, and could be explicitly using HTML instead of a markdown default, but I don't know how to do this in Markdown. W1; Sortable Tables. I am unaware of any way to do this in markdown. This may only be relevant for a few pages, the list of mech overviews W2; Embeddable Images. I think there's a few markdown things that play with html tags or ![alt text](image_url). We use these in some guide stuff, and it'd be nice to not loose functionality.

W3; TextTable Loadouts. Instead of updating pictures of the loadouts, generate loadouts in a nice positional layout like in the game. This would save all the storage and traffic, and should make the website more responsive and intuitive to use. I can imagine doing this in markdown with a fake table grid or so, but then hiding empty fields is like a weird extra layout step, and wouldn't know how to do this in markdown.
