The example they give is via the YAML header. How could the google scholar one be put in as the icon? The short codes don't work in this placement.

AFAIK, only bootstrap icons are supported right now. I had a brief look in the source code and it seems I can't hack around that at the moment. I think the only way for now would be a custom template. I may look into that if I have time

Thanks for taking a look. That's what I thought, but I'm glad to know I wasn't missing some way of doing it. I could recode things to make my own template instead of using their YAML about pages to take advantage of the academic-inspired icons (which are great!).

Because this issue was mentioned in https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/discussions/2776, see the answer on how to use any icons from shortcode: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/discussions/2402
