Example:

{ics data-before="image/pic1.jpeg" data-after="image/pic2.jpeg" data-before-text="Old" data-after-text="New" }

    Hello,
    I just picked up your tool.
    I'm on Joomla 4.0.3 Php8.0.
    After installation and creation of the module with the syntax and modification of the field for images. It doesn't work on my page.
    The site displays the syntax at the top of the page without displaying anything else.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
