Thanks, this was really helpful, as the official documentation didn't mention this at all. I was trying to use a standard text/vnd.tiddlywiki tiddler with the contents *[img[./images/favicon.ico]]* to display the favicon, and couldn't work out why it wasn't working properly even when I changed it to an image/x-icon type. In the official TW5 documentation, neither Setting a favicon <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Setting%20a%20favicon> nor ContentType <http://tiddlywiki.com/#ContentType> mention converting to base64 at all. I would update the documentation myself, except that it currently requires a pull request with GitHub to do that, and that's not a skill I have mastered yet.
