**A Sphinx extension to add custom favicons**

With Sphinx Favicon, you can add custom favicons to your Sphinx html
documentation quickly and easily.

You can define favicons directly in your `conf.py`, with different `rel`
attributes such as [`"icon"`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#rel-icon)
or [`"apple-touch-icon"`](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html) and
any favicon size.

The Sphinx Favicon extension gives you more flexibility than the [standard
`favicon.ico` supported by Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html#confval-html_favicon). It provides a quick and easy way to add the most
important favicon formats for different browsers and devices.

## Installation

Use ``pip`` to install Sphinx Favicon in your environment:

```sh
pip install sphinx-favicon
```

## Usage

After installing **sphinx-favicon**, add it to your `conf.py` extension list:

```python
extensions = ["sphinx_favicon"]
```

Then configure the favicon links using the `favicons` parameter (`html_static_path` is mandatory if you use relative path):

```python
html_static_path = ["_static"]

favicons = [
    {"href": "icon.svg"},  # => use `_static/icon.svg`
    {"href": "https://secure.example.com/favicon/favicon-16x16.png"},
    {"href": "https://secure.example.com/favicon/favicon-32x32.png"},
    {
        "rel": "apple-touch-icon",
        "href": "https://secure.example.com/favicon/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png",
    },
]
```

Based on this configuration, Sphinx will include the following favicon information in the HTML `<head>` element:

```html
<link rel="icon" href="_static/icon.svg" type="image/svg+xml">
<link rel="icon" href="https://secure.example.com/favicon/favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16" type="image/png">
<link rel="icon" href="https://secure.example.com/favicon/favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32" type="image/png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="https://secure.example.com/favicon/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png" sizes="180x180" type="image/png">
```
