Name the icon's job, not just its shape. Get 16 practical HTML and React patterns for informative images, decorative marks, icon controls, SVG sprites, and complex graphics.
A small guide for the moment you need a pattern
See how the same icon should be handled differently as an image, a button, or a decorative cue. Each recipe includes a use case and copy-ready markup, followed by a short release checklist.
External SVGs: informative, decorative, and functional
Inline SVG and icon-only buttons with clear names
React component patterns and collision-free title IDs
SVG sprites, status icons, CSS backgrounds, and charts
Primary references and limits, without a compliance claim
The same arrow used alone needs the button to carry a name such as aria-label="Continue". The PDF covers both patterns and more.
