Help on lines based SplitText

Refer to this demo

 

Here are the screenshot after loaded the demo.

 

Clicked on [lines]

You can find the orange text "nested tags" does not being split correctly.

 

How can I solve?

 

Thank you.

Welcome to the forums @VP Dev1

 

If you check out Notes & limitations section in the SplitText docs, you'll see that it doesn't support splitting nested elements by lines.

 

You can try this workaround.

Yep, Blake is right. To clarify...

 

What you’re asking would actually have to chop individual elements up and that could have very negative effects. For example, let’s say you have this: 

<div>one two <span id="nested">three four</span></div>

 

Let’s say the word “four” wraps onto a 2nd line, so now you’ve got “three” and “four” which are both inside a <span> with an id on it, and that likely has some CSS rules applied, etc. How would we split that? See the problem? That one <span> now becomes two (one in each line wrapper <div>)? And do they both have an id of “nested”? That’s invalid markup and it could break your CSS. 

 

I’d suggest reworking your setup to better accommodate what you’re trying to do with the splitting. From what I can tell, it’s simply impossible to accommodate your request. 

 

Thanks for the helpful screenshots! Happy tweening.
