Description

As a feature suggestion, I would love if this could allow you to plug in an LLM (such as GPT-4o) where images that are included in the content could be sent to the LLM for further understanding. For example, if it was say a bar chart or graph, it would be sent to convert that to a Markdown table and be integrated in the final Markdown output.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing image-handling and Markdown conversion paths, then define the LLM integration scope, provider behavior, and expected Markdown output before implementation; done means supported images can be interpreted into the final output with coverage for the chosen cases.
