What are templates?

Django templates are text files, which can be composed to run as HTML files - which can later be referred to as HTML templates, once templating has been configured in Django.

Step 1:

(Example)

Create a basic index.html template file:

<!-- index.html -->

<html>

   <head>

      <meta charset="UTF-8">

      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

      <title> My first website </title>
    
   </head>

     
   <body>
     

    <h1> Hello world </h1>

    
    <p> My first icon </p>

    
   </body>

   
</html>

Step 2:

Add the font awesome 4.7 CDN to your index.html file within the head tags:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

<!-- index.html -->

<html>

   <head>

      <meta charset="UTF-8">

      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

      <title> My first website </title>
     
      <!-- font awesome 4.7 cdn -->
     
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
     
   </head>

      
    
   <body>
     

    <h1> Hello world </h1>

    
    <p> My first icon </p>
   
    
   </body>

   
</html>

Step 3:

Visit the following link and pick your icon:

👉 https://fontawesome.com/v4/icons/

Step 4:

Once you have found an icon that you like, simply click on the icon... Scroll down and copy the icon based on it's <i> tag.

Example:

Step 5:

Add your icon to your index.html file:

<!-- index.html -->

<html>

   <head>

      <meta charset="UTF-8">

      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

      <title> My first website </title>
     
      <!-- font awesome 4.7 cdn -->
     
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
     
   </head>

      
    
   <body>
     

    <h1> Hello world </h1>

    
    <p> My first icon </p>
    
    <i class="fa fa-address-book" aria-hidden="true"></i>
   
   </body>

   
</html>
