+### 3. fa
+
+mdBook includes a copy of [Font Awesome Free's](https://fontawesome.com)
+MIT-licensed SVG files. It accepts three positional arguments:
+
+1. Type: one of "solid", "regular", and "brands" (light and duotone are not
+   currently supported)
+2. Icon: anything chosen from the
+   [free icon set](https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&m=free)
+3. ID (optional): if included, an HTML ID attribute will be added to the
+   icon's wrapping `<span>` tag
+
+For example, this handlebars syntax will become this HTML:
+
+```handlebars
+{{fa "solid" "print" "print-button"}}
+```
+
+```html
