Synchronize `repr()` and `_repr_html_()`

See original GitHub issue

TIL that Info has a dedicated HTML representation, which is 🔥. However, I don’t like that it doesn’t show the same information as the standard text representation, for example: Screen Shot 2021-10-11 at 15 50 49 Specifically, I really miss the channel names and I don’t like that MEG types are always listed, but ideally there should be no differences at all except for a nicer rendering in HTML. WDYT?

No strong feeling from me. With the HTML we might be able to get away with more information even if we try to make it more consistent, for example we could probably do a 3-column table that has key / description / value (currently it’s description / value), and keep the console more compact and closer to code with just key / value (what it is now).

Since @hoechenberger mentioned scikit-learn pipelines, they have a config option where users can choose which repr is shown: https://scikit-learn.org/dev/auto_examples/miscellaneous/plot_pipeline_display.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-miscellaneous-plot-pipeline-display-py

I think this would be a very nice solution where all of us would be happy.
