A Markdown extension that looks for things like :fa-coffee:
and replaces
them with the Font Awesome icon markup.
Add 'fontawesome_markdown'
to your Markdown call and watch the
magic unfold:
>>> from markdown import Markdown
>>> markdown = Markdown(extensions=['fontawesome_markdown']
>>> markdown.convert('i ♥ :fa-coffee:')
<p>i ♥ <i class="fa fa-coffee"></i></p>
Don't forget to make the Font Awesome assets available to your DOM, and you're done!
