Responsive Images
<picture> <source media="(min-width: 40em)" srcset="big.jpg 1x, big-hd.jpg 2x"> <source srcset="small.jpg 1x, small-hd.jpg 2x"> <img src="fallback.jpg" alt=""></picture>
<img src="small.jpg" srcset="large.jpg 1024w, medium.jpg 640w, small.jpg 320w" sizes="(min-width: 36em) 33.3vw, 100vw" alt="A rad wolf">
