group: extend

Bootstrap doesn't include an icon library by default, but we have a handful of recommendations for you to choose from. While most icon sets include multiple file formats, we prefer SVG implementations for their improved accessibility and vector support.
Bootstrap Material Design is designed to work with the [Google Material icons](https://material.io/icons/)
library, despite not including it by default.
In our [Introduction docs]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/getting-started/introduction)
all our starter templates include by default this icon set.
The code to include in your `<head>` tag is:
```html
<!-- Material Design for Bootstrap fonts and icons -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700|Material+Icons">
```
