The icon shortcode displays icons in your text.
The theme uses the Font Awesome library, allowing you to easily display any icon or logo available in the Font Awesome free collection.

Finding an icon
Browse through the available icons in the Font Awesome Gallery. Notice that the free filter is enabled, as only the free icons are available by default.
Once on the Font Awesome page for a specific icon, for example the page for the heart, copy the icon name and paste into the Markdown content.
Customising Icons
Font Awesome provides many ways to modify the icon
- Change color (by default the icon will inherit the parent color)
- Increase or decrease size
- Rotate
- Combine with other icons

Advanced HTML Usage
While the shortcode simplyfies using standard icons, the icon customisation and other advanced features of the Font Awesome library requires you to use HTML directly. Just paste the <i> HTML into markup and Font Awesome will load the relevant icon.
