 Icons
 ~~~~~
 
-``LabIcon`` is the icon class used by JupyterLab, and is part of the new icon
-system introduced in JupyterLab v2.0.
-
-How JupyterLab handles icons
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ui-components package provides icons to the rest of JupyterLab, in the
-form of a set of ``LabIcon`` instances (currently about 80). All of the icons
-in the core JupyterLab packages are rendered using one of these ``LabIcon``
-instances.
-
-Using the icons in your own code
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-You can use any of JupyterLab icons in your own code via an ``import``
-statement. For example, to use ``jupyterIcon`` you would first do:
-
-.. code:: typescript
-
-  import { jupyterIcon } from "@jupyterlab/ui-components";
-
-How to render an icon into a DOM node
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Icons can be added as children to any ``div`` or ``span`` nodes using the
-`icon.element(...)` method (where ``icon`` is any instance of ``LabIcon``).
-For example, to render the Jupyter icon you could do:
-
-.. code:: typescript
-
-  jupyterIcon.element({
-    container: elem,
-    height: '16px',
-    width: '16px',
-    marginLeft: '2px'
-  });
-
-where ``elem`` is any ``HTMLElement`` with a ``div`` or ``span`` tag. As shown in
-the above example, the icon can be styled by passing CSS parameters into
-`.element(...)`. Any valid CSS parameter can be used, with one caveat:
-snake case params have to be converted to camel case. For example, instead
-of `foo-bar: '8px'`, you'd need to use `fooBar: '8px'`.
-
-How to render an icon as a React component
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Icons can also be rendered using React. The `icon.react` parameter holds a
-standard React component that will display the icon on render. Like any React
-component, `icon.react` can be used in various ways.
-
-For example, here is how you would add the Jupyter icon to the render tree of
-another React component:
-
-.. code:: jsx
-
-  public render() {
-    return (
-      <div className="outer">
-        <div className="inner">
-          <jupyterIcon.react
-            tag="span"
-            right="7px"
-            top="5px"
-          />
-          "and here's a text node"
-        </div>
-      </div>
-    );
-  }
-
-Alternatively, you can just render the icon directly into any existing DOM
-node ``elem`` by using the ``ReactDOM`` module:
-
-.. code:: typescript
-
-  ReactDOM.render(jupyterIcon.react, elem);
-
-If do you use ``ReactDOM`` to render, and if the ``elem`` node is ever removed
-from the DOM, you'll first need to clean it up:
-
-.. code:: typescript
-
-  ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(elem);
-
-This cleanup step is not a special property of ``LabIcon``, but is instead
-needed for any React component that is rendered directly at the top level
-by ``ReactDOM``: failure to call `unmountComponentAtNode` can result in a
-`memory leak <https://stackoverflow.com/a/48198011/425458>`__.
