How to use
For performance reasons, all icons require a base class and individual icon class. To use, place the following code just about anywhere. Be sure to leave a space between the icon and text for proper padding.
Don't mix with other components
Icon classes cannot be directly combined with other components. They should not be used along with other classes on the same element. Instead, add a nested and apply the icon classes to the .
Only for use on empty elements
Icon classes should only be used on elements that contain no text content and have no child elements.
Accessible icons
Modern versions of assistive technologies will announce CSS generated content, as well as specific Unicode characters. To avoid unintended and confusing output in screen readers (particularly when icons are used purely for decoration), we hide them with the attribute.
If you're using an icon to convey meaning (rather than only as a decorative element), ensure that this meaning is also conveyed to assistive technologies &#; for instance, include additional content, visually hidden with the class.
If you're creating controls with no other text (such as a that only contains an icon), you should always provide alternative content to identify the purpose of the control, so that it will make sense to users of assistive technologies. In this case, you could add an attribute on the control itself.
Examples
Use them in buttons, button groups for a toolbar, navigation, or prepended form inputs.
An icon used in an alert to convey that it's an error message, with additional text to convey this hint to users of assistive technologies.
