Update to fontawesome v6
Any ideas on how it might be possible to use Fontawesome v6 instead of the default v4 in FORD?
Simply adding this to the <head> works
<head>
...
<script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/XXXXXXXXXX.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
</head>
but I can't find a FORD configuration to add additional content to <head> during the page build.
For now, I just wrote a simple python program that replaces text in every html file:
from pathlib import Path
def replace_text(old, new):
"""Replace text in all html files.
Parameters
----------
old, new : str
The string to look for and the string to replace it with.
"""
files = Path("site/").rglob("*.html")
for file_path in sorted(files):
# Read the content of the file
with open(file_path, "r") as file:
content = file.read()
# Write the modified content back to the file
with open(file_path, "w") as file:
file.write(content.replace(old, new))
# -----------------------
# Add Font Awesome v6 Kit
old = "</head>"
new = """ <script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/XXXXXX.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
</head>
"""
replace_text(old, new, files="all")
print("🔧 Added support for Font Awesome v6.")
I just run this after creating my FORD docs.
This is sort of two issues:
- Upgrading bundled fontawesome to v6: I've just not found time to do this. Their website doesn't make it super obvious.
- Giving users more control over the HTML: again, I'd love to do this, just haven't found the time.
PRs are always welcome! :)
