5.1. Usage 

To ease the use of icons in QGIS manuals, replacements are defined for each icon in /source/substitutions.txt file at QGIS-Documentation repository and some of these substitutions are listed below. Thus, when you want to use an icon from QGIS application in the documentation there is a big chance that there is already a substitution that can/should be used.

If no replacement exists:

check the documentation repository whether the icon is available in /static/common folder. If no image, then you need to find and copy the icon image file from QGIS repository (often under https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/release-3_16/images/themes/default folder) and paste (in .png format) under /static/common folder. For convenience and update, it’s advised to keep filename when possible.
create the reference to the substitution in the /source/substitutions.txt file following the example below. The replacement text should be in camelCase:
```
.. |splitLayer| image:: /static/common/split_layer.png
   :width: 1.5em
```
run the scripts/find_set_subst.py script to update the substitution definitions in the rst files and include the new substitution(s).
(optional) add the reference to the icon and its substitution to the list below.
