Coloring icons

You can add a color to an icon by adding the CSS color after the icon, like this:
:fontawesome-solid-dragon:{ .bug-pink } :fontawesome-solid-dragon:{ .bug-pink }

Currently, the available configured colors are based off the built-in admonition colors and icons, as follows:

:fontawesome-regular-note-sticky:{ .note-blue } :fontawesome-regular-note-sticky:{ .note-blue }
:octicons-info-16:{ .info-blue } :octicons-info-16:{ .info-blue }

Custom

We've modified a couple of the standard admonitions to mean something a little different on this site.

Work in Progress

For pages that aren't yet complete, and need revisions (that we know are going to be revised sooner/more frequently than a typical page.)

Typically, we will put this at the bottom of the page content, with a dividing line between any page content and this admonition.

Example page with this Work in Progress admonition: :octicons-arrow-right-16: Example WIP Admonition

??? quote "Syntax" Copy and paste at the bottom of page content: ``` ---

!!! example "Work in Progress"
