Genericons obsolete?

[wpjapParticipant]

Hi. I have tried this guide tip but it doesn’t work:

Neither of these html-snippets in my content (text-area) present an icon in the rendered page:

(I had to add a semicolon to be able to post this here)

<;span class=”genericon genericon-twitter”>

(btw: in the guide the forward slash is missing)

<svg class="genericons-neue genericons-neue-search" width="16px" height="16px"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="genericons-neue.svg#search"></use></svg>

(the latter is the suggestion from genericons.com)

Can you give me a hint, what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Jan

Correction: It does work, only that you can’t see the result in the visual pane of the WP page editor.

What I entered in the quote area above is this – except for the x letters:
<xspan class=”genericon genericon-search”><x/span>

You can’t enter the code directly here in this forum, probably because it is made with the WXT also. Not really practical for a support forum 🙁

To post HTML in this forum you have to use the preformatted paragraph style like below

<span class="genericon genericon-search"></span>

Code is supposed to work, But I found it unreliable.

Preformatted works for me , not sure why it does not work for you, may be it is browser related.

May be it is browser related. this appears to be a weakness of BBPress which is used for this forum.
