I’m not entirely sure where you are coming from with this…maybe it was different 7 months ago, than it is now…but it’s one of the most simple plugins that I have ever seen for this type of thing.
You install it.
You reference the FontAwesome Cheat Sheet.
(they provide a link to the cheatsheet pdf in the description)
You pick an icon from that sheet.
Copy and paste that name into the name=”” field in the shortcode.
So for example:
[icon name="icon-camera"][/icon]
Would create a camera icon.
Done.
You can also add custom CSS to these icons, by including a class within the name field…
So for example, I wanted a circle with an icon in the center.
[icon name="icon-trophy circle-it"][/icon]
That creates a trophy icon with the extra class “circle-it” so that I can apply any css that I want to that icon.
I do not understand how much more intuitive you need for font-icon shortcodes.
It’s actually really simple, and exactly what I was looking for to incorporate into a site-build that I am doing, and will probably end up using it in a theme that I am building later.
