This filter allows you to use fontawesome icons in the Moodle text editor without worrying about having your div's stripped out by the Moodle Tinymce HTML cleaner.
Your site/theme must have FontAwesome embedded already. This filter does not provide the font.
Install the plugin like any other plugin to folder /filter/fontawesome
See http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Installing_plugins for details on installing Moodle plugins
First, activate the filter_tabs plugin in Site Administration -> Plugins -> Filters -> Manage filters
To create FontAwesome icons in textfields, use the following syntax: [fa-*] where * is the name of the icon you wish to display
filter_fontawesome has a settings page to allow you to limit the filter to only certain textbox formats.
I am still figuring out how to add an abilityt o detect a custom variable to allow the user to set the icon size.
