Icons in abbreviations

[NFanoe]

I tried to add an abbreviation like this:
*[Folkepensionsalder] :flag_gb: state pension age
-to create a translation of a specific, Danish term.
But the flag icon does not resolve, så the tooltip output is literally :flag_gb: state pension age. A little disappointing - might that be changed?

Hello @NFanoe,
the abbr extension doesn't process the contents of the abbreviations as Markdown, it's a simple regex logic where it reads the "key name" and then everything until the end of line as the "contents".

It's not even a matter of the emoji extension not being activated, but *text* also won't create italic text.

But as long the content is on a single line, then you can add HTML inside, so you could first render :flag_gb: normally, and then using the dev tools in your browser extract the HTML to put it inside of your abbreviation.

*[Folkepensionsalder]: <img alt="🇬 🇧 " class="twemoji" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jdecked/[email protected]/assets/svg/1f1ec-1f1e7.svg" title=":flag_gb:"> state pension age

If you consider this a huge bug, then please move the discussion upstream to the maintainers of Python Markdown, as the Material theme doesn't do custom adjustments to the extensions:

  Perhaps there is even a similar open or past issue, so please do the research before creating a duplicate 🫡

Thank you, I will :) I didn't think it was a bug, but maybe an enhancement request - but you're right, it doesn't belong here.
