# [[HOWTO CSS Download Button]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
This recipe pairs Font Awesome's icon-font approach (`<i class="fa fa-download"></i>` placed directly inside the button, before the text) with the SAME inline `style="width:100%"` technique already used in `[[HOWTO CSS Button Group]]`'s justified variant to make a full-width option — icons-in-buttons and full-width buttons are treated as orthogonal, independently-combinable choices rather than separate recipes. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Icon-in-button pattern** — `<button class="btn"><i class="fa fa-download"></i> Download</button>` places the icon element directly before the button's text content, both inheriting the button's own font size/color. [S1]
- **Auto vs. full width** — the same `.btn` class works for both; full width is achieved with an inline `style="width:100%"` rather than a separate CSS class. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- `.btn { background-color: DodgerBlue; border: none; color: white; padding: 12px 30px; font-size: 20px; } .btn:hover { background-color: RoyalBlue; }`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
없음 — 신규 레시피, 기존 문서와 모순되는 내용 없음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
Font Awesome 다운로드 아이콘이 포함된 버튼을 auto width와 full width 두 가지로 각각 제시하는 예제가 원문에서 직접 제공됨. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Icon + text button, auto or full width (HTML + CSS):
```html
<button class="btn"><i class="fa fa-download"></i> Download</button>
<button class="btn" style="width:100%"><i class="fa fa-download"></i> Download</button>
```
```css
.btn { background-color: DodgerBlue; border: none; color: white; padding: 12px 30px; font-size: 20px; }
.btn:hover { background-color: RoyalBlue; }
```
