Elements
EEA icons (scalable vector icons)
Simply use the <span> tag with specific classes as following:
eea-icon-camera-retro<span class="eea-icon eea-icon-camera-retro"></span>eea-icon-camera-retro
You can use the entire set of Font Awesome v4.7.0 icons as part of the EEA web design. Font Awesome gives you scalable vector icons that can instantly be customized - size, color, drop shadow, and anything that can be done with the power of CSS.
More icons
There are many ways to customise the icons display. See the practical examples and just replace the generic fa classname with our eea-icon class prefix.
Floated icons
You can float icons right or left by using eea-icon-right or eea-icon-left class, instead of font awesome pull-left and pull-right:
<p><span class="eea-icon eea-icon-right eea-icon-comment"></span></a>Right floated comment icon</p>
We can float the icon to the right of the text as we can see from this example.
Animated icons
You can animate icons using Font Awesome Animation classes together with font awesome icons as following:
eea-icon-anim-burst animated<span class="eea-icon eea-icon-heart eea-icon-anim-burst animated"></span>
eea-icon-heart eea-icon-anim-burst animated

Portal messages and callouts
Portal messages (aka callout / text boxes) are "in publishing ... a short piece of text set in larger type than the rest of the page and intended to attract attention ... in word processing is a special text box with or without a small 'tail' that can be pointed to different locations on a document..." (definition source: Wikipedia).
These styles can be added manually in HTML by a developer or they can be added on text fields by content authors using the WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE Styles DropDown).
Standard call-out
This is a callout: a piece of text set in a special layout intended to attract attention.
Key Facts call-out
We have a specific css class "keyFact" which we have given a call-out style. This helps us to systematically identify key facts / key messages added by content authors on webpages, extract them and create distinct list about them.
- Key message 1
- Key message 2
- ...
- Key message n

The markup for this ribbon is:

This can be styled different by adding recent or expired classes to the photoAlbumEntry parent div.
