Inserting Font Awesome Icons

Font Awesome icons can be inserted into editor content from Mobi Workspace. Icons can help support short callouts, feature lists, buttons, and visual labels when they are used consistently and sparingly.

Mobi Workspace is the editor workspace used for styles, modules, grids, and icons.

Open the Icons View

The Icons view lets you search, filter, style, and insert Font Awesome icons.

Find an Icon

Use Search to find an icon by name.

Use Category to filter icons by category.

Use Library to filter by the available Font Awesome library.

The icon grid shows matching icons. To keep the picker fast, it shows the first set of results by default. Click Show All to render every match, or narrow the search for a faster list.

Icon Settings

After selecting an icon, configure its appearance using the settings below the grid.

Use Size to choose the icon size. Leave it at the default size when the icon should inherit the surrounding text size.

Use Color to choose a color. Use the reset control when the icon should return to the default color.

Use Rotate / Flip to rotate or flip the icon when needed.

Use Fixed Width when icons should align evenly in a vertical list.

Insert the Icon

Select the icon and settings, then insert it into the editor content.

Review the inserted icon in context. Icons should reinforce the nearby text rather than replace necessary words.
