## Icons
The Bootstrap framework provides you Glyphicons for icon.
Bootstrap doesn’t include an icon library by default, but it has a handful of recommendations for you to choose from. While most icon sets include multiple file formats, we prefer SVG implementations for their improved accessibility and vector support.
### How to use
To use Bootstrap icon create a span tag with base class `glyphicon` and individual icon class.
Use it only on elements that contain no text content and have no child elements.
**Code Example:**
``
