A demo of using an SVG sprite for the WordPress admin icons.
What does this process look like?
SVGs live in the icons/src directory, and can be edited directly here. (No more waiting for font merges)
Generate a single SVG sprite using svgstore in Grunt, pulled from the source folder. Check out the generated demo (icons/sprite-demo.html) for a quick intro to using the individual SVGs from the sprite.
Replace the current markup for dashicons in the admin menu with SVG's use, so we reference the external SVG sprite.
