Possibility to specify the color?

[jozilla]

Is it possible to specify the colour for the FontAwesome icon? It would also be cool if it would be possible to use the Bootstrap primary color by default or at least make that an option as well as custom colors (like "red").

I figured out it's possible by defining a span, but it would be great if it can be done in the shorthand code directly:

[{{< fa brands linkedin >}}]{style="color: red;"}

I don't think it's possible to do that across formats. (It would work for the predefined formats, but it wouldn't work for custom formats). The span solution makes it clear that the result will only work for HTML, so I think that's the only correct solution right now.

OK, that makes sense, thanks. The reason I asked was because this is a feature in the academicons extension.

@jozilla I see! The issue is that I believe they don't support other formats besides HTML, and we need to.
