Support for font-awesome

[huangjj27]

When I try to rewrite my latex resume with markdown, I think ti's a beautifiation to add some font-awesome icons in the resume, however I found the plugin not has the supportment. Is it a good idea add font-awesome support? If so, I'll take it in hand.

a much more simple way to support font-awesome is to add it's cdn link style at the beginning of the markdown file.

Can you show me a code snippet?

[huangjj27]

I'm sorry to forget to give you the code.

here is my document:

<!-- my_resume.md -->
<!-- references to font-awesome cdn -->
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- now we can use font-awesome -->
<i class="fa fa-envelope-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> <huangjj.27@qq.com> ·
<i class="fa fa-envelope-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> <349373001dc@gmail.com> ·
<i class="fa fa-qq" aria-hidden="true"></i> 349373001

what it looks like:

that is, using the HTML-compatible feature of markdown, we can do this by ourself and hence we don't need to add any extra support in the render plugin. we just use the render compiler that work well and that's enough

Now I don't recommend to add such support in the plugin, unless you want to make it as a content option or something else. This may introduce some similar request like MathJax support.

I see now, probably I more generic option would be better, I'll think about it. Thanks for the feedback.

[huangjj27]

now you want to do this, maybe mathjax is another considerable support?

I'm working on the MathJax support and in fact it's almost ready. You can subscribe to this repo using the Watch button at the top.
