jQuery splitLines() demos
splitLines() takes a block of text and splits it up into separate lines based on the width of the box or a width passed to the function.
splitLines()
- width string The width of the box. By default, it tries to use the element's width. If you don't define a width, there's no way to split it by lines!
- tag string The tag to wrap the lines in
- keepHtml boolean Whether or not to try and preserve the html within the element. Default is true
