Wrap favicon template definition inside a block

[joapuiib]

Context

I want to extend this theme to use a bundled icon as the site favicon. (#4206)

Description

Would it be possible to wrap the favicon definition inside a block, so it can be easily extended?

mkdocs-material/src/templates/base.html

Line 80 in e8a6331

<link rel="icon" href="{{ config.theme.favicon | url }}" />

{% block favicon %}
...
{% endblock %}

Thanks for suggesting. Yes it would be possible, but we're not considering adding more and more partials right now. Also, blocks within blocks are rarely a good idea, as they might lead to unexpected behavior when using overrides. Thus, please just override the site_meta block, and adjust it to your needs. Closing as resolved via customization.
