Code
Inline Icon
Place Font Awesome icons just about anywhere with the <i> tag.
Icon classes are echoed via CSS :before.
- <div style="font-size: 24px;">
- <i class="icon-camera-retro"></i> icon-camera-retro
- </div>
Increase the icon size by using the icon-large class. This increases the size by 33% relative to the font-size of the container.
- <div style="font-size: 24px;">
- <i class="icon-camera-retro icon-large"></i> icon-camera-retro
- </div>
