I tried visually replacing a few Logseq tags with icons in CSS. It worked!

How'd I do it? Here I'll just paste from my journal note figuring out the first one. I'm sure I'll revisit this tonight after taking care of the day's business.

• #idea Thinking about custom tag icons for logseq

  • #warning under construction #warning
  • Inspired by Obsidian Alternate Checkboxes CSS snippet

  • Here's what #idea looks like in the dev console:

    •  <div
            class=""
            style="display: inline;"
            data-tooltipped=""
            aria-describedby="tippy-tooltip-119"
            data-original-title="null"
            ><a
                data-ref="idea"
                class="tag">#idea</a></div>

  • #question how do my installed plugins change the structure?

    • I don't think I currently have any plugins that alter element attributes

  • Set up CSS Selector #bookmark to match

    • a.tag[data-ref"idea"]=

  • Hide the displayed tag by making it tiny

    •  a.tag[data-ref="idea"] {
         border: none;
         font-size: 0;
       }

  • Append an icon with the font size we started at

    •  a.tag[data-ref="idea"]:after {
         content: "💡";
         font-size: initial;
       }

  • as-is, this has accessibility issues and font-size: initial won't work with headings. Also, to do it right I should be encoding the icon
