Here's an example code snippet: ```html ``` In this example, we use the **html** binding to bind the button's content to an HTML string that includes an icon and the text "Add Item". We use the **class** attribute to set the icon to the "fas fa-plus" icon from the Font Awesome icon library. You can replace the **fas fa-plus** icon with any other icon class that you want to use. You can also use other HTML elements, such as **span**, **div**, or **p**, to wrap the icon and text if you want to apply additional styling or formatting. Note that using the **html** binding can be potentially risky if you are binding user-generated content, as it can leave your application vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Make sure to sanitize any user-generated content before using it in an **html** binding. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158096/how-to-bind-text-in-a-button-with-an-icon-using-knockout Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
