An inline image, as unnatural as it might appear in a markdown doc (as the DF post notes) is more "readable" in plain-text than what is essentially a block of YAML for configuring a chart in the middle of a document.
Well, that would mean I'd need multiple source files and an ordered way of building the output. The source files would in effect just contain the same information that's here, but split up and away from their context.
