I see…! And someone mentions the problem:

> This component works well with the category tag component but unfortunately is not compatible with the tag icon component. While tag icons function elsewhere on the site, they do not work in the description section. Is there a way to fix this?

I installed Category Banners to verify that category icons work – but they didn’t. Both category and tag icons get the placeholder, just as with Category Headers. And it’s the same regardless of the outlet chosen in the settings.

If there’s a way to just get them to process normally that’d be great, but I wouldn’t want you to resort to a complex workaround.
