Description

Hello.

Thanks a lot for the great tool. I am a Brazilian researcher and I have been using your template to create a webpage for a congress that will happen in Brazil. It is common for Brazilian researchers to use this governmental platform (https://lattes.cnpq.br/) and it would be great if I could have its logo on our page. Unfortunately, Font Awsome does not provide it. However, Academic Icons (https://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/) does!

Thus, I was wondering if there was a way to use Academic Icons on this template. I would very much appreciate any recommendations you could provide.

Thanks very much in advance, George.

Their page here describes how you would do that: https://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/

You can put the <link> to their stylesheet in _includes/fonts.html, or you can download the stylesheet and just put it in /_styles. See this docs page: https://greene-lab.gitbook.io/lab-website-template-docs/advanced/embeds

Then you can use it any .md file like they show in their docs with <i>, or you can use the template's icon component.
