Bug Description

In http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5725 user Proxy expressed a desire for a single file that was appended to on each occasion rather than individual ones each time logging was started. Whilst this would be fairly trivial for the plain text file format I have reservations as to how easy it would be for the HTML form. At present the style for each span is explicitly set in full detail at the start of that span, however I am aware from unreleased prototype code that if it were cached it would be possible to significantly reduce the size of HTML log files, particularly if only a few different styles are used repetitively through the entire log foil. If that were to be done it may be harder to maintain a single file that is appended unless we can overwrite it (to remove the closing HTML) and then re-parse the existing file to identify all previously used styles - it would not be impossible to do this but it may slow done the commencement of logging slightly IMHO.

{This might a project I could attempt during my 2016 holiday in a few weeks if I need to take a break from I18n stuff!}
