notice :file:`Resources/Public/Icons/LICENSE-font-awesome.txt` lists every file

the icons of the public profile draw the shared icons of
:guilabel:`academic_base`, which lists them in its own notice.

This manual shows the icons of the content elements from
:file:`Documentation/Images/Icons/`, copies of the files below
:file:`Resources/Public/Icons/plugin/`, the Font Awesome icons `users`,
`address-card` and `user-check`, drawn in a fixed grey instead of the colour of
the surrounding text, so that they read on a light and a dark page alike.
