The downsides of icon fonts are well-documented, and also, why ship all of the icons when it only uses 14?

Note: font-awesome-as-a-crate 0.2.0 requires Rust 1.49.0, because it performs pattern matching on byte slices in a const fn. See rust-lang/docs.rs#1573

Thanks for the PR! I don't think this is something we can land right away, because I believe there are books that are using the FA icons, and this would break them. I'll try to review it when I get a chance, but merging may need to wait until the next major release.

That’s fine. mdBook is still 0.4, so it can still release a 0.5 some time.

Also, I should probably document the fa handlebars helper in the manual. Since this is how it’s going to be done now. Should we also add some sort of Markdown pass for icons inline with the book?

@ehuss Docs and inline fixup for fontawesome icons have been added to the HTML renderer, so that books using font-awesome will still be able to do so.

@ehuss Now that the fixups are included to allow books that already use font-awesome to continue doing so, and the documentation is written, is there anything else preventing this from being included in the 0.5.0 milestone?
