Glyphicon bootstrap email
A great question!
To use Bootstrap's glyphicon icons in an email, you'll need to use a combination of HTML and CSS. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Include the Bootstrap CSS file
Add the Bootstrap CSS file to your email template. You can do this by linking to a CDN or hosting the file yourself. For example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
Step 2: Use the glyphicon class
Wrap the glyphicon icon with the glyphicon
class and specify the icon you want to use. For example:
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-envelope"></span>
This will render the envelope icon.
Step 3: Add the glyphicon font
To display the glyphicon icons, you need to add the glyphicon font to your email template. You can do this by adding the following code:
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
src: url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot');
src: url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff') format('woff'),
url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg#glyphicons_halflingsregular') format('svg');
}
</style>
This code adds the glyphicon font to your email template.
Step 4: Style the glyphicon
To style the glyphicon icon, you can add CSS rules to your email template. For example:
.glyphicon {
font-size: 24px;
color: #337ab7;
}
This code sets the font size and color of the glyphicon icon.
Putting it all together
Here's an example of how you can use the glyphicon icon in an email:
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
src: url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot');
src: url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff') format('woff'),
url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg#glyphicons_halflingsregular') format('svg');
}
.glyphicon {
font-size: 24px;
color: #337ab7;
}
</style>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-envelope"></span>
This code renders the envelope glyphicon icon with a font size of 24px and a blue color.
Remember to test your email template in different email clients to ensure that the glyphicon icons display correctly.
