Problem
I’m trying to create a portfolio website and I want to place a Font Awesome icon between two horizontal lines (as detailed below), but it’s not working. I’ve looked around Stack Overflow and none of the solutions I’ve found have worked.
What I Need
————— icon —————
So far, I have this code and it makes the space on the page for the lines, but they just aren’t showing up. The icon is there just fine.
html {
background: #333;
}
.landing-content {
height: calc(100vh - 40vh);
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
text-align: center;
}
.landing-content h1 {
font-size: calc(1.5rem + 4vw);
font-weight: 700;
color: #e8e8e8;
}
.landing-content p {
font-size: calc(0.6rem + 0.5vw);
color: #e8e8e8;
}
.landing-content a {
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 5px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
background: transparent;
color: #e8e8e8;
border: 2px solid #e8e8e8;
border-radius: 1em;
transition-duration: 0.3s;
cursor: pointer;
}
.landing-content a:hover {
background: #e8e8e8;
color: black;
border-color: transparent;
}
.title-line {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
text-align: center;
margin: 20px 0;
color: #e8e8e8;
padding-bottom: 0.6%;
}
.title-line hr {
flex-grow: 1;
border: none;
height: 1px;
background-color: #e8e8e8;
}
.title-line .icon {
margin: 0 10px;
color: #e8e8e8;
