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"
or "apple-touch-icon" and
any favicon size.
The Sphinx Favicon extension gives you more flexibility than the standard
favicon.ico supported by Sphinx. It provides a quick and easy way to add the most
important favicon formats for different browsers and devices.
Use pip to install Sphinx Favicon in your environment:
pip install sphinx-faviconAfter installing sphinx-favicon, add it to your conf.py extension list:
extensions = ["sphinx_favicon"]Then configure the favicon links using the favicons parameter (html_static_path is mandatory if you use relative path):
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:
<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">For more details and more advanced usage, please see the documentation.
