Get Started with Elusive Icons

Take your WordPress development to new heights. Check out Redux Framework, from the makers of Elusive Icons.

Thanks to the generous folks at MaxCDN, you can use Bootstrap CDN to add Elusive Icons into your website with a single line of code. You don't even have to download or install anything!

Paste the following code into the <head> section of your site's HTML.
```
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/elusive-icons/2.0.0/css/elusive-icons.min.css">
```
Immediately after release, it takes a bit of time for BootstrapCDN to catch up and get the newest version live on their CDN.
Pat yourself on the back for your scalable-vector-icons-on-the-website judo solution in a single line of code.

Use this method to customize Elusive Icons 2.0.0 using LESS or SASS.

Copy the elusive-icons/ directory into your project.
Open your project's elusive-icons/less/variables.less or elusive-icons/scss/_variables.scss and edit the @el-font-path or $el-font-path variable to point to your font directory.
```
@el-font-path:   "../font";
```
The font path is relative from your compiled CSS directory.
Re-compile your LESS or SASS if using a static compiler. Otherwise, you should be good to go.

In order to provide the best possible experience to old and buggy browsers, Elusive Icons uses CSS browser hacks in several places to target special CSS to certain browser versions in order to work around bugs in the browsers themselves. These hacks understandably cause CSS validators to complain that they are invalid. In a couple places, we also use bleeding-edge CSS features that aren't yet fully standardized, but these are used purely for progressive enhancement.

These validation warnings don't matter in practice since the non-hacky portion of our CSS does fully validate and the hacky portions don't interfere with the proper functioning of the non-hacky portion, hence why we deliberately ignore these particular warnings.

If you need IE7 support, you have my condolences. Really. Elusive Icons 2.0.0 doesn't support IE7. Please go complain to whomever decided your project needs IE7 support.
