Customizing a Bullet Icon using Font Awesome
It is possible to use a Font Awesome icon for the bullet in a list. In order to do this, take the following steps:
- In the Style Designer, create a new Character Style that will represent the Font Awesome bullet.
- In the Character Style Options, under Additional CSS Classes, add fa, a whitespace, and the class of the icon you want to use. (For example: fa fa-warning) For a reference of all the icons available, refer to the Font Awesome Cheatsheet at:
- Select the Paragraph Style that is to have the bullet added.
- In the Bullet Properties area for the Paragraph Style, under the Property called Character Style, select the name of the Character Style that has the Font Awesome icon applied to it.
- (Optional) If the Paragraph Style was initially an unordered list in the source document, it is also necessary to add a single whitespace to the Bullet Property called Text so the default bullet does not emit from the source document.
