How To Add Icons

Icons can easily be added to your HTML page, by using an icon library.

Just add the name of the icon class to any inline HTML element (like <i> or <span>).

Icons from icon libraries are scalable vectors that can be customized with CSS (size, color, shadow, etc.).


Font Awesome Icons

To use the Font Awesome icons, go to fontawesome.com, sign in, and get a code to add in the <head> section of your HTML page.

The code looks something like this:

<script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/yourcode.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
