Added: markup extension

[VolodymyrBaydalka]

Markup extention to convert from FontAwesomeIcon to string without bindings. Useful for styles and document element such Run, etc.

Example:

<TextBlock>
  Info <Run Text="{fa:FontAwesome InfoCircle}" FontFamily="pack://application:,,,/FontAwesome.WPF;component/#FontAwesome"/>
</TextBlock>

Why not also add:

FontFamily="{fa:FontFamily}"

It's a shame to see such little response from the owner of this repo.

I'm always a bit weary on long strings floating around the place.
Would it be worth creating a second markup extension just for setting the font?

Well it helps to read stuff before posting! @drewnoakes had already posted what I was refering to :) - woops!

Reason for this markup extension was that I'm tired of searching for codes for icons. Especially when you need to work with run's

With font family there is no such a problem. You can define own style or static resource for it

<FontFamily x:Key="FontAwesomeFamily">pack://application:,,,/FontAwesome.WPF;component/#FontAwesome</FontFamily>
...
<TextBlock FontFamily="{StaticResource FontAwesomeFamily}"

I don't think that worth to create another markup extension. Maybe just define a shared static resource
