Orgmode export html with fontawesome characters

Question

I have an org document in which I inserted fontawesome characters (with the package fontawesome).

When exporting to html, the characters are exported as is instead of being exported in html fontawesome code. For instance,  should get exported as:

<i class="fa fa-plus"></i>

I guess I could achieve this with some post-export hook. How would I do ?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use @@html:...@@, for example:

@@html:<i class="fa fa-plus"></i>@@

Thanks juancho's comment, I came out with a nice setting to set this up.

You can set org-entities-user like this for example.

'(org-entities-user
   (quote
     (("faCogs" "\\faCogs" nil "<i class=\"fa fa-cogs\"></i>" "=cogs=" "=cogs=" "")
     ("faPlus" "\\faPlus" nil "<i class=\"fa fa-plus\"></i>" "+" "+" ""))))

```

The "tofus" are the symbols in fontawesome.

In my orgmode document, I just need to do \faCogs, and with M-x org-toggle-pretty-entities, the fontawesome symbol appears.
