Implementation details

The following optimisations are applied to reduce output html size:

• Apply the inline span to the whole set of icons rather than each icon individually
• Skip the "nowrap" span if a single icon is produced

These optimisations are necessary to avoid a "Pages where template include size is exceeded" error on some large pages (e.g. elite pack contents pages).
