Why are icons no longer rendering?

[danielchalef]

Icons are no longer rendering when used with, I think, the superfences extension. I'm seeing this on both our docs site and the Mkdocs Material site.

@squidfunk - fyi this is impacting the Material docs site, too.

Tested on MacOS 13.4.1 with:

• Safari Version 16.5.2 (18615.2.9.11.10)
• Chrome 116.0.5845.187

Below are two examples from https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/

Thanks for reporting. We're aware of the issue, see #6054. Please use version 9.3.2, while we fix the issue on master.

Thanks. Is there a new version of Insiders? I've just pulled mkdocs-material==9.3.2+insiders.4.42.0 and still see the issue.

[squidfunk]

Nope, the latest Insiders release should also work. Are you sure that you pulled the correct version and not master? The latest version has the old directory structure which works with the current mkdocs-material-extensions version, see here.

By the way, I'm very close to pushing a fix. We're moving the extension into our repository, see 00c5fb1

This issue does not occur on the latest release, but only on master. To fix it, change the configuration of pymdownx.emoji:

Now:

- pymdownx.emoji:
      emoji_generator: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.to_svg
      emoji_index: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.twemoji

Before:

- pymdownx.emoji:
      emoji_generator: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.to_svg
      emoji_index: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.twemoji

We're working on an upgrade path that will be part of 9.4.0, so materialx will work again in 9.4.0, but print a deprecation message. Going forward, material.extensions is the new namespace where our Markdown extensions will live

We applied this configuration change and our icons are rendering again:

mkdocs-material-extensions has been updated to handle the changes on master. It is now on PyPI.

[facelessuser]

Once mkdocs-material releases the next version, we will deprecate ours in favor of Material's as it makes much more sense for Material to manage Material specific things.

Perfect, thanks! I just tested it and can confirm 1.2 works, so we bumped it in 69cd8c6. This means we can close the issue.

Nope, the latest Insiders release should also work. Are you sure that you pulled the correct version and not master? The latest version has the old directory structure which works with the current mkdocs-material-extensions version, see here.

My bad. 9.3.2 works. Thanks
