Adding inline icons without disrupting defaults

Hello -

I'm trying to add support for using inline icons (via the icon:xxx[] macro). However, when I enable the :icons: attribute for the document, it also forces all admonition and callout icons to load from the icons directory as well.

Is there a way to add our own set of icons for use in the content without disrupting the base rendering of the standard items?

Dave,

You can toggle the icons attribute in the flow of the document (assuming the attribute hasn't been locked by an assignment in the API).

= Document Title

:icons!:

NOTE: No icon will be used here.

:icons:

See my cool icon:flag[] icon.

:icons!:

NOTE: No icon will be used here either.

Another solution is to make your own inline macro which operates independently of the icons attribute.

Yet another solution is to use font-based icons, then modify the CSS to control how the icons are displayed (since font-based icons are really CSS-based icons since it's up to the CSS to decide how to handle them).

This may be the easiest option, I'll give this a try.

Okay, that's a good tip. I may look into this long-term, as it may be an easier way to for us to maintain one icon set across multiple documents.

Thanks!
