what do you mean by a local png? any icon that is used is going to be referenced by a url somewhere. you can, if you want, define a data: url in order to avoid needing to make a separate http request, but anyway once the icon is fetched once it will be cached and other references to it will be fast.

I tried working with that example, actually. My problem was that they
- use different icons so they have to put the url in the json file
- use a link to the image online instead of referring to a local png

I wasn't able to figure out how to proceed. Do I really have to add "pin.png" to the json file for every single item? That doesn't seem right somehow as I want to use the same icon for all items. Sorry that I'm so slow with this, I've never worked with html/exhibit before and the different demos/examples sometimes aren't enough help.

    data-ex-icon is ok. See the example [1] Is "pin.png" the correct url?
