-### Embedding Resources
-
-To avoid hosting-related issues in projects that use the themes, the resources are embedded by encoding them in the output CSS. For more details, refer to [this issue](https://github.com/telerik/kendo-theme-default/issues/41#issuecomment-258472183).
-
-To embed the latest resources:
-
-1. Run the `npm run embed-assets` task. The task generates a file with the same name which registers a Base64-encoded version in the `$data-uris` SCSS map. For example, the `foo.woff` font file will be encoded in a `foo.scss` file which can later be imported through `@import './font/foo';`.
-1. Inline the encoded file inside the CSS through `map-get( $data-uris, 'foo.woff' )`. For example:
-
-```scss
-$web-font-uri: map-get( $data-uris, 'WebComponentsIcons.woff' );
-
-@font-face {
-    font-family: 'WebComponentsIcons';
-    src: url( $web-font-uri ) format( "woff" );
-}
-```

 ### Documenting Variables
 
 The available variables for customizing each theme are listed in the article on customization for each theme (`docs/customization.md`) The file is generated from the SCSS source files by running the `npm run docs` command.
