So it works, but why can't I put it in my forum posts?
Posts don't accept raw html
You can create a custom bbcode so e.g.make the html replacement
Code:
<i class="fas fa-{text}"></i>
Then if the bbcode tag is
fa
all you/they need is add the icon name between the
[fa]
and
[/fa]
in the post
Even easier if you give it an editor icon in the bbcode so they just choose that from the text box editor and just add the icon name.
(you'd need another bbcode for brand icons
