About icons
The Icon Content droplet allows you to insert icons from the Bootstrap and FontAwesome libraries onto a page.
- Bootstrap: https://icons.getbootstrap.com/
- FontAwesome: https://fontawesome.com/search?ic=free-collection
- View the icon selection from both libraries at the end of this page.
Compatibility
The official icon websites always display all icons from the most recent versions of these libraries. If there is a version discrepancy between the library included in BlueSpice and the official version, it is possible that not all icons will be available for display within BlueSpice.
Bootstrap icons
- Find a Bootstrap or FontAwesome icon.
- Highlight the class name (it has the format bi bi-myicon) and copy it to your clipboard (ctrl+c) (or remember the class name).
- Go back to your wiki page.
- Open the Droplets dialog in VisualEditor:
- Select the Icon-droplet:
Selecting the icon droplet - Search for the droplet "Icon"
- Click on the Icon-card
- Click the Insert button
- Copy the icon class from your clipboard (or enter it manually):
Template editor - Change the font size (optional) if you want the size to be different from the text surrounding it (e.g., from the size of a heading if the icon is placed in the heading or of the paragraph text if the icon is placed in the flow-text. Smaller than text icons are usually sized no smaller than 0.85em and larger icons up to 2.5em.
- Color: If you want the color to be different from the surrounding text, you can specify any web color (e.g., a color name like blue or a hex-valuesuch as #0059b3 for a more specific blue). A list of web colors can be found at https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp
- Vertical alignment: It should not be necessary to provide an alignment value. The standard is set to text-top and usually works in headings and in flow-text. If it looks a little off, you can try other vertical-alignment values, such as text-bottom. For a full list of possible values, see https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_vertical-align.asp.
- Click Apply changes.
The icon is now displayed on the page.
