Using the block in WordPress

Adding a block to the page

To add the icon block, toggle the block inserter and search for the block named icon. For more information on adding blocks see Getting Started

Icon block inserter

Editing

If inserting an icon block directly onto the page, there are several configuration options available in the tooltip edior. Within the tooltip editor, you can select the specific icon to use. There are also six sizes available: default, tiny, small, medium, large, and huge. More often than not, icons will be used as configuration options related to a specific block, then inserted as a standalone object.

Example of button with icon used. [../blocks/buttons.html]
