Support external icons since built-in icons are too limited about starlight HOT 4 CLOSED

I could chat with @natemoo-re‚ it’s definitely an idea! Not sure when natemoo-re/astro-icon#111 might be released.

Thanks for the issue! We’ve adding a few manually so far, but may be worth expanding or supporting customisation. The non-logo icons Starlight currently uses are from the Unicons set: https://github.com/Iconscout/unicons

Could we look at integrating with https://github.com/natemoo-re/astro-icon/tree/next somehow for this? @natemoo-re is using Iconify to back it and that has the Unicons set in it.

I'm not sure how an "integration within an integration" to have starlight handle this all internally or if this would have to be another layer.

An additional option could be pointing people to that package once component replacement is a think.

with iconify's webcomponent support, this would just be adding the import statement import 'iconify-icon'; to the base layout page, you can then use

<iconify-icon icon="mdi:caret-down-outline"></iconify-icon>

or any other icon where ever you like in the mdx pages.
