Images, divs, and similar

Icons

We can include icon items in the yaml to include icons from bootstrap, but what if we want to include others? The impetus for this is google scholar, but I could also foresee using something like phylopic.

The trick it looks like is to install (or write, but let’s leave that for later) a Quarto extension. Academicons comes up early in google, but Iconify seems to contain that set and a bunch more.

To install, use quarto add mcanouil/quarto-iconify at the terminal.

To use, include "". Note that when you find the icon, Iconify gives the name as setname:iconname, and we need to quote it in the yaml.

This seems to work here, e.g. the google scholar icon is


but I can’t get it to work in the yaml, even with quotes.

Simply downloading the image and giving a path in the yaml doesn’t work either.
