I'm working on applying styling to certain words after using SplitText. To do this I'm relying on the word index but I see some inconsistencies when a linebreak is considered a word and when it isn't.

 

The following pen illustrates:

 

 

As you can see when a linebreak is followed or preceded by a space it will end up as a separate line and word after SplitText but if two or more linebreaks are not separated by anything else, they are combined into one line/word.

 

I think it's fair to consider this a bug. A linebreak should always end up as its own line with its own word, or am I missing something?

@Jack what is the best way to link to the latest version in a codepen?

 

I tried the new version locally and it seems that there is a breaking bug.

 

Using splittext on 'This is a test<br><br>Normal italic bold underline' returns a `.words` array with only 3 elements.

Please snag 0.3.2 now and give that a shot - it should fix all the <br> issues and the faulty words array that was introduced in that [wrong] file yesterday. Again, I apologize for the mix-up. Please let me know if things work well for you now. Oh, and if you want to use it on codepen, this URL should work: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/16327/SplitText.min.js
