Thanks for the suggestion! How would you want these to be used within pyinaturalist? Currently, the purpose of the taxon emoji is for showing tables of taxon or observation records in a terminal or Jupyter notebook, using pyinaturalist.pprint()
. Example:
This library doesn't currently have an HTML output format that could make use of Font Awesome icons, though.
Hi @JWCook - basically, we are using them in our web platform. Instead of having them in our own source code, since they are aligned we your own emojis and mapping, I have instead made this pull request so that also others may use the mapped font-awesome icons.
Feature description
Font awesome is a website providing standardized font-based icons, with several of them being free. I want to add support for font-awesome-based icons as an option other than the existing emojis. I will be working on it this morning and make a pull request.
Use case
In the web portal we are developing we are using font-awesome for standardized icons. We want to use it also to help distinguish the icons associated to open tree of life taxa.
