Split text is a small JS library that is able to split the contents of HTML tags into lines, words and/or characters.
Download these files and add the file to your HTML page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="splittext.js"></script>
To split a tag or tags, run new SplitText("#elementID").
The Split Text initialisation function will accept a single or array of any of the following:
- JS elements
- jQuery elements
querySelectorAllselectors
new SplitText("#elementID") will return a SplitText Object.
The Split text object has properties lines, words and chars which contain arrays of lines, words and chars respectively.
The Split text object also has a method revert() that will undo the changes that were made.
The SplitText function takes a second, optional object parameter. This can include additional attributes that change the functionality of the program.
Currently, Split Text supports the attributes type, charsClass, linesChars and wordsClass.
Type is a comma separated list list of the type of split to be carried out. The options are any combination of lines, words and chars. Note that chars cannot be used by itself at the moment without causing spacing problems. This should be fixed in a future version.
The three class elements will add a class to each of the split elements.
Two adjacent plus symbols in the class will be replaced by position of that split element. For example, new SplitText("#elementID",{linesChars:"line++"}) would produce the line elements
<div class="line1">...</div>
<div class="line2">...</div>
<div class="line3">...</div>Two adjacent asterisks symbols in the charClass will be replaced by the character and the next character. For example the word hello split with the charClass ** would produce the character elements
<div class="he">h</div>
<div class="el">e</div>
<div class="ll">l</div>
<div class="lo">l</div>
<div>o</div>This makes it very easy to adjust the spacing between letters for advanced typography. If, for example, you wanted to change the spacing between the letters c and d, you would use the CSS
.cd{
letter-spacing:-0.1em;

###Version 0.1 Will wrap lines, words and/or chars in separate divs and will set the position to any valid CSS position. If position is set to null, it won't be set and it is up to your css.
Need to set positions and sizes for absolute or fixed positioned divs.
