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.

Customizing 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
