Glyphicons Halflings are normally not available for free, but an arrangement between Bootstrap and the Glyphicons creators have made this possible at no cost to you as developers. As a thank you, we ask you to include an optional link back to Glyphicons whenever practical.
How to use
All icons require an <i>
tag with a unique class, prefixed with icon-
. To use, place the following code just about anywhere:
- <i class="icon-search"></i>
There are also styles available for inverted (white) icons,made ready with one extra class. We will specifically enforce this class on hover and active states for nav and dropdown links.
- <i class="icon-search icon-white"></i>
Heads up! When using beside strings of text, as in buttons or nav links, be sure to leave a space after the <i>
tag for proper spacing.
Icon examples
Use them in buttons, button groups for a toolbar, navigation, or prepended form inputs.
