Hi!
I have an animation that reveal my texts line by line with SplitTextJs. The problem I have is that I have my paragraphs that are splited line by line but my lines wraps so one line is now 2 lines

It happen mostly when I refresh the page without the cache. On my codepen I need to refresh more than once without the cache to get the problem. Also, sometimes I have a problem with the split when I have some words in italic or in a span.

 

Thank you!

Hey tlemaitre27 and welcome.

 

This is likely because your font hasn't been loaded before you're trying to run SplitText. As the SplitText docs say,

Quote

The element of text should be displayed exactly as you want it to be at the end of your animation before you split it. In other words, the split element should be displayed on the page (having visibility: hidden or opacity: 0 is fine) and be sized like it will be when you want the split animation to run when you call SplitText.

So make sure you run SplitText after the font has been loaded. Otherwise SplitText can have no idea how the lines will be split.

my outerSplitP.lines is not set to overflow: hidden until the animation is triggered

You have paused: true on your timeline that it's on. If you want it to apply it immediately, use a regular tween:

gsap.set(outerSplitP.lines, {
  overflow: 'hidden'
})
el.tlp = gsap.timeline({
  paused: true,
  onComplete: () => {
    //outerSplitP.revert()
    //innerSplitP.revert()
  }
})
.from(innerSplitP.lines, {
  duration: 1,
  yPercent: 100,
  ease: 'expo',
  stagger: 0.1
});

what about the glitch when I have some words in italic (with the tags <i></i>) or span?

What do you mean glitch?

I have a dot in a single line in my codepen

This is related to you trying to split nested elements and those nested elements wrapping. There are some cases where nested elements, even if they're inline, are especially hard to know where the splits should go. In this case, when then <i> is split across two lines, SplitText doesn't know where to put the dot. Here's a demo that shows the issue more clearly:

See the Pen gOpwRvo?editors=0010 by GreenSock (@GreenSock) on CodePen

 

If the <i> doesn't wrap this issue won't occur. So in light of that, you could adjust the font size, adjust the max-width, add some text, or remove some to where this happens less. Alternatively, just include the period inside of the <i> :)
