Today I needed to add a little “pdf” graphic before each link in a list of linked pdf files.
I turned to FontAwesome for the graphic, but getting it to display using CSS isn’t straightforward.
In fact, I couldn’t find documentation on the FontAwesome website sharing how to even do it!
Here’s what it looks like to our website visitors:
Here’s the CSS solution:
ul {
position:relative;
}
ul.pdf-download-icon li:before {
content: "\f1c1";
font-family: FontAwesome;
left:-15px;
position:absolute;
top:0;
color: #393832;
}
Enjoy!
Additional documentation about adding FontAwesome to Divi Theme.
By the way, Divi has its own beautiful icon fonts built in, out-of-the-box, as well!
