Inline HTML rendering seems inconsistent in README (<p align> + icons no longer stay inline)

Body

Hi all,

I’ve been using a common pattern in my README to display social icons inline:

<p align="left">
  <a href="https://example.com"><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/40" width="40" height="30" /></a>
  <a href="https://example.com"><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/40" width="40" height="30" /></a>
  <a href="https://example.com"><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/40" width="40" height="30" /></a>
</p>

This used to render all icons neatly on a single line. Recently, this behavior seems inconsistent or broken:

• Icons sometimes wrap onto multiple lines
• align="left" (or other values) doesn’t seem to have any effect
• Behavior differs between profile READMEs and repo READMEs

What I expected

All icons render inline in a single row, with alignment respected.

What I’m seeing instead

Layout breaks into multiple lines, and alignment attributes are ignored.
