Icons and logos

The Relearn theme for Hugo loads 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 HTML reference and paste into the Markdown content.

The HTML to include the heart icon is:

<i class="fas fa-heart"></i>

Including in markdown

Paste the <i> HTML into markup and Font Awesome will load the relevant icon.

Customising icons

Font Awesome provides many ways to modify the icon

• Change colour (by default the icon will inherit the parent colour)
• Increase or decrease size
• Rotate
• Combine with other icons
