Material Design Icons¶ ↑
_Material Design Icons_ (MDI) is a very helpful design resource for Web Design that is based on _Google's_ specification of Material Design. MDI is a community-driven project to create an increased icon-set based on the official Material Design Icon repository provided by Google.
MDI is a fast growing collection to allow designers and developers targeting various platforms to download icons in the format, color and size they needed for a project. In the current MDI version (v5.9.55), 5900+ icons - plus converted icons from the official icon set created by Google - are available.
_J1 Template_ supports the full set of MDI icons for the Web (Webfont, WOFF). The icon set is fully integrated and can be used out-of-the-box.
HTML Markup¶ ↑
There is no official markup for font icons, but 2 markups are widely used. Both markups can be used in block elements like the anchor tag `<a>`. That way, it's on you what to use for font icons.
- source, html
<span class=“mdi mdi-name” role=“img” aria-label=“name” ></span> <1> <i class=“mdi mdi-name”></i> <1> <2>
<1> Both forms are consistent with the HTML5 spec <2> It's short and the `<i>` tag may associated for an **i**con
(semantic meaning)
NOTE: The `<i>` tag provides more meaning to machines because of the HTML spec, it provides more meaning to humans because the `i` can easily associated with `icon`. And it's only *one letter* long - that win! And if you make sure to include equivalent text either inside the `<i>` tag or right next to it (as Twitter for Bootstrap does), then screen readers understand where to click to reply, the link is usable if CSS doesn't load, and human readers with good eyesight and a decent browser see a pretty icon.
Asciidoc Markup¶ ↑
For pages using Asciidoc for the source (default), a easier solution is to use Markups from Asciidoc.
- source, html
pass:[<i class=“mdi mdi-<name> mdi-<size> mdi-<modifier>”></i>] <1> mdi:<name>[<size>, <modifier>] <2>
<1> Markup using a pass block <2> Markup using the Asciidoc extension (mdi:)
Sizes¶ ↑
For more eye-minded placement, or to place emphasis on, all icons can be specified in different sizes by the optional parameter `size`.
NOTE: The size of an icon is typically specified relative to the base font size. Today, the base font size is set to `16px`. That mean for for font icons, that the width of an icon is set to `32px` if a relative size of `2x` is specified.
See with the following what sizes are available.
Fixed Size¶ ↑
If needed, the icon size can given in absolute sizes from `18px` to `48px`.
include::{tabledir}/mdi_icons/100_absolute_sizes.asciidoc[]
BS Grid Size¶ ↑
For a better Bootstrap integration, the icon size can be given like the view-port shortcuts `xs`, `sm`, `md`, `lg` and `xl`.
include::{tabledir}/mdi_icons/110_bs_grid_sizes.asciidoc[]
Relative Size¶ ↑
All icons can be specifier relativ to the base size of `1em` from `1x` to `10x`. See the examples with the table below.
include::{tabledir}/mdi_icons/120_relative_sizes.asciidoc[]
Rotate¶ ↑
To vary icons in their orientation, the icons can be rotated for 7 different angle. This is quite useful, if an icon has an orientation already but does not fit your need.
NOTE: Using `flip-*` and `rotate-*` at the same time is not supported
include::{tabledir}/mdi_icons/200_rotate.asciidoc[]
Flip¶ ↑
Like `rotate`, an icon can be flipped by horizontal and vertical axes. It is similiar to `rotate` but the angle (perspective) remains unchanged.
NOTE: Using `mdi-flip-*` and `mdi-rotate-*` at the same time is not supported
include::{tabledir}/mdi_icons/300_flip.asciidoc[]
Spin and Pulsed¶ ↑
For realy eye-minded placements of icons, icons can be animated im terms of rotation and pulse. Be careful using animated icons, because this may cause disturbing effects and can demand unwanted attention.
include::{tabledir}/mdi_icons/400_spin_pulsed.asciidoc[]
