## Description

Most Moodle icons are rendered using the 6.5.1 versions of [Fontawesome](https://fontawesome.com/v6/search). Iconnames are mapped from the Moodle icon name to the Font Awesome icon names in `/lib/classes/output/icon_system_fontawesome.php`

If needed a theme can override this map and provide its own mapping.

## Rendering icons in Mustache Templates

Icons can be rendered in moodle templates using this notation:

```{{#pix}} i/edit, core {{/pix}}```

## Rendering icons in Php

Use the pix_icon method to retreive the HTML for an icon.

{{< php >}}
    $icon = $OUTPUT->pix_icon('i/edit', 'Edit me', 'moodle');
{{< / php >}}

Options:

## Stacking Font Awesome icons

{{< example >}}
<span class="fa-stack fa-lg">
  <i class="fa-solid fa-comment fa-stack-2x"></i>
  <i class="fa-solid fa-thumbs-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
</span>

<span class="fa-stack fa-2x">
    <i class="fa-solid fa-camera fa-stack-1x"></i>
    <i class="fa-solid fa-ban fa-stack-2x" style="color:Tomato"></i>
</span>
