### HTML Favicons
A Favicon is most commonly seen preceding the URL in a browser. Some
other examples include (but are not limited to) bookmarks, search history, and
app icons (i.e. "save page to homescreen" on mobile devices). [File format support](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#File_format_support)
and the [use of favicons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#Use_of_favicon) differ
across the combination of platforms and browsers.

If you would like to customize the favicons of your quartz-based website, you
can add them to the `data/config.yaml` file. The **default** without any set
`favicon` key is:
```html
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="icon.png" type="image/png">
```
The default can be overridden by defining a value to the `favicon` key in your `data/config.yaml` file. Here is a `List[Dictionary]` example format, which is equivalent to the default:

If you plan to add multiple favicons generated by a website (see list below), it
may be easier to define it as HTML. Here is an example which appends the
**Apple touch icon** to quartz's default favicon:
```yaml
favicon: |
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="icon.png" type="image/png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
```
This second favicon will now be used as a web page icon when someone adds your
webpage to the home screen of their Apple device. If you are interested in more
information about the current, and past, standards of favicons, you can read
[this article](https://www.emergeinteractive.com/insights/detail/the-essentials-of-favicons/).
Some websites that **generate favicons** for you (ordered alphabetically) include:
- [`favicon.io`](https://favicon.io/)
- [`realfavicongenerator.net`](https://realfavicongenerator.net/)
- [`www.favicon.cc`](https://www.favicon.cc/)
These sites will take a base image and generate a set of favicons for you,
one of which will be, for example, the `apple-touch-icon` favicon. These sites
will often **also provide the HTML** for the favicon, which can be simply
added to the `data/config.yaml` using the HTML format of the `favicon`
argument.
**Note** that all generated favicon paths, defined by the `href`
attribute, are relative to the `static/` directory.
