The "svgicons2svgfont" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named svgicons2svgfont to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  svgicons2svgfont: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
