[https://jefflefoll.github.io/slate-font-awesome](https://jefflefoll.github.io/slate-font-awesome) ```html ``` ## Generating the elements Using NodeJS and the `slate-font-awesome-generator.js` to transform Font Awesome CSS files into polymer elements. You need to do a `npm install` to recover the rependencies and then `node tools/slate-font-awesome-generator.js` to execute the script. ``` $ node tools/slate-font-awesome-generator.js ``` After executing it, a series of HTML files is generated in the folder, each one corresponding to a Font Awesome CSS file: slate-font-awesome.html, slate-font-awesome-min.html ## Contributing 1.
