:note: Notes
Font Awesome is a third-party library used to provide icons
Font Awesome colours must be entered in the #RRGGBBAA format
All Font Awesome settings must be configured before the configuration can be saved – stylesheet, colours, and icons
When in the Insert Font Awesome Icon menu in the Rich Text Editor toolbar, both icon and colour must be selected before the Insert button is enabled
Unlike the configuration for paragraph and table classes in the Rich Text Editor, Font Awesome default icons are configured with their display name in the Name field and their class in the Value field
