Question: How to use font icon in generated elements?

[AmaiKinono]

"Font icon" is just single-colored icon baked into a font file, so basically I'm wondering how to put text into generated elements, like selectarrow.

I've tried to programmatically set inner RML of selectarrows, but seems that doesn't work.

It would be simple if we have ::before and ::after pseudo elements. Maybe allowing text to be used as decorator also solves the problem.

Hey. Yeah, variations of this topic comes up from time to time. See e.g. #399 and #655, and this: #348 (reply in thread). So it's definitely on our radar.

Just added this feature in 66d0b7c:

decorator: text("Hello 🌎 world!" blue bottom right);

With that, I am considering this one resolved. The ::before and ::after pseudo elements are still on our radar, as those might be useful for other reasons too.
