search friendly html document by removing <span>s #104

It may be the case for non-expert users to search for a type to check whether some standard function exist,
e.g. I searched 'a -> 'a -> 'a in the List module to check how many variants of List.reduce and pick one.

However, the current generated HTML doesn't support a naive search of type string like 'a -> 'a -> 'a. The reason is there are some <span> in it to prevent web browser in page search to find it easilly.

<span>(<span class="type-var">'a</span> <span>-&gt;</span> <span class="type-var">'a</span> <span>-&gt;</span> <span class="type-var">'a</span>)</span>

I can search 'a -> 'a -> 'a in the source code.

I suggest removing some spans in the output to make it friendly to naive in-page search.
