## DivIcon

Represents a lightweight icon for markers that uses a simple `div` element instead of an image.

    var myIcon = L.divIcon({className: 'my-div-icon'});
    // you can set .my-div-icon styles in CSS

    L.marker([50.505, 30.57], {icon: myIcon}).addTo(map);

By default, it has a `'leaflet-div-icon'` class and is styled as a little white square with a shadow.
