Inline Icons

Place Font Awesome icons just about anywhere with the <i> tag.

icon-camera-retro

<i class="icon-camera-retro"></i> icon-camera-retro

Icon classes are echoed via CSS :before.

Larger Icons

To increase the size of icons relative to its container, use icon-large, icon-2x, icon-3x, or icon-4x.

Increase the icon size by using the icon-large (33% increase), icon-2x, icon-3x, or icon-4x classes.

icon-camera-retro

<p><i class="icon-camera-retro icon-large"></i> icon-camera-retro</p>
<p><i class="icon-camera-retro icon-2x"></i> icon-camera-retro</p>
<p><i class="icon-camera-retro icon-3x"></i> icon-camera-retro</p>
<p><i class="icon-camera-retro icon-4x"></i> icon-camera-retro</p>

If your icons are getting chopped off on top and bottom, make sure you have sufficient line-height.

Animated Spinner

Use the icon-spin class to get any icon to rotate. Works best with icon-spinner and icon-refresh.

Bordered & Pulled Icons

Use icon-border and pull-right or pull-left for easy pull quotes or article graphics.

<i class="icon-quote-left icon-4x pull-left icon-muted"></i>
