use with shinyDashboard?

Hi!

FontAwesome icons are built into shinydashboard directly as part of menus, etc. for example:

menuItem("Reflect", tabName = "reflect", icon = anicon::faa("leaf", animate="bounce")),

however, trying to embed an animated icon into this throws the following error:

Error in tagAssert(icon, type = "i") : 
  Expected an object with class 'shiny.tag'.

Any thoughts on getting anicons to integrate with the icon system used by shinydashboard?

Installation error

Unfortunately, I couldn't install your package in R 3.4.4 as the package icon is also not available.

icon:::fa_iconList no longer exists and breaks anicon::faa

Newer version of the icon package does not have icon:::fa_iconList object, so you may want to update the anicon::faa() function body to update the guard clause accordingly.

Shiny vignette's example doesn't work

Hi,

Congratulation!!! The "anicon" package is super cool.

However, I just tried to reproduce the shiny's example from the vignette and didn't work for me. Sadly, all that I'm having is the HTML code

<i class="fas fa-child faa-flash animated "></i> Old Faithful Geyser Data

Looking the HTML code page I get this

<span>&lt;i class="fas  fa-child faa-flash animated "&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</span>

Blurring text in xaringan slides

Hi,

I've noticed that when you use even just one animated icon, the whole xaringan slide gets blurry (text, other images, etc.). The most evident example can be seen with the hovering example. Do you know why this happens and if it's possible to not have this effect?

P.S.: Nice idea/package!
