I tried to add field named icon and set the value to f087 or <<fa thumbs-o-up 5>>. Neither works. If TiddlyWiki support it?

Great site, how to export all faicon tiddlers? Drag them one by one seems not possible.

1) open $:/AdvancedSearch (click the magnifying glass next to sidebar search input)

2) select the "filter" tab

3) enter: [tag[Font Awesome 5]] into the filter input. This should list 1537 matches

4) Press the "export" button (half-box with up arrow) next to the filter input

5) Choose JSON to save the file locally

6) Drag-and-drop the created JSON file to your own TiddlyWiki document

Hi your advice worked. I can export all the icons. But I found I also need the "SVG Collection" tiddler which help me search the icon.

I follow the instruction you mentioned in the post but I cant export the tiddler.

Also I copied the code of this tiddler to my wiki not work either.

So how to make the "SVG Collection" tiddler?

Why copy ALL 1537 SVG images into your document? Why not just use http://fa5-free-svg.tiddlyspot.com/ as intended by it's creator? In other words, just go to the site when you need some images and, as instructed on that page, use the "Batch Import" interface to select images (drag-and-drop images into the box provided in the sidebar) and then press the "export" button to create a JSON file.

If you want the entire set available when you are offline, you can download the entire file from tiddlyspot, by using http://fa5-free-svg.tiddlyspot.com/download

I for one installed all the icons into a bobserver wiki i call resources for offline access to icons and much more useful content. Taking it offline also allows you to add additional keywords about what you use the given icon for.or even record where you use it. When the next version is released svg can be used as the favicon so in your own repository you can record the wiki that uses it as the favicon, its branding.
