### 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)

across the combination of platforms and browsers.

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.

To customize the Interactive Graph view, you can poke around `data/graphConfig.yaml`.
