Using Font Awesome in LibGuides v2.0
What's Font Awesome?
Font Awesome is a free suite of 479 scalable vector icons that are easily customizable using basic HTML. Change the size, color, add a border, anything at all – using some really basic inline HTML.
Currently Using Font Awesome 4.7.0

Why Should I Use It?
The Font Awesome library is fully incorporated into LibGuides v2! So you only need to call the icons using their CSS classes. Use Font Awesome icons to:
- Add images to your guides
- Add icons to your side-nav layout
- Integrate Font Awesome social media icons in your template or header/footer.
What's the HTML Structure?
<i class="fa icon-name" aria-hidden="true" style="font-size: insert-size; color: insert-hex-color; padding: insert-padding;"></i>
