New Feature: Font Awesome for additional icons

navindra

In a bit of late Friday fun, I thought I'd let you all know about this new feature.

Add new Font Awesome icons to your posts like .

Nothing groundbreaking, we all have plenty of emojis already, but a little Flarum perk.

Feel free to use this thread to test it out.

Forgive my ignorance...how do we insert these?

JB_PT Sure thing!

Here are some examples:

[fa]house[/fa] [fa]hippo[/fa] [fa]plane[/fa] [fab]github[/fab] [fa]truck-monster[/fa]

If you type that, you get this:

Cute - thanks! Ironically, no piano keys. 😏

Is there a way to modify the fontsize and have another color?
[size:8pt]small[/size]
[size:15pt]big[/size]
This didn't work as in PW.

WieWaldi looks like the H button in the options does a large header font.

I'm big!

WieWaldi

twocats thanks.

I am also big now

Unfortunately I wanted to make the font small for the signature text. I want to make it easy to ignore it. Because too much (and big) signatures are disrupting the readability of a thread.

twocats Found out by accident, but it works only for single words. A blank ends the effect.

^Upper ^word -> ^Upper ^word (like E=mc^2 -> E=mc²)
~Lower ~word -> _Lower _word (like B~b -> B_b)

@navindra Just in case you want to write a summary of tips & tricks

Tagging @navindra to add to his growing list: make the signature a smaller font size.

I also agree with the need for this, it's only slightly smaller than the default text size and is distracting!
