+### Adding icons to the top-level menu
+
+As described in the [Hugo docs](https://gohugo.io/content-management/menus/#add-non-content-entries-to-a-menu), you can add icons to the top-level menu by using the pre and/or post parameter for main menu items defined in your site's `config.toml` or via page front matter. For example, the following configuration adds the GitHub icon to the GitHub menu item, and a **New!** alert to indicate that this is a new addition to the menu.
+
+```yaml
+[[menu.main]]
+    name = "GitHub"
+    weight = 50
+    url = "https://github.com/google/docsy/"
+    pre = "<i class='fab fa-github'></i>"
+    post = "<span class='alert'>New!</span>" 
+```
+
+You can find a complete list of icons to use in the [FontAwesome documentation](https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&p=2). Docsy includes the free FontAwesome icons by default.
