Description

Bug description

Currently, it's possible to use markdown/shortcode in several text subkey in navbar for websites/books, but not everywhere.
For instance, navbar tools text subkey don't evaluate markdown/shortcodes (https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-navigation.html#navbar-tools).

This was partly reported/updated in https://github.com/quarto-ext/fontawesome/issues/6.
