HalfStyle

Style each half or third of a character, vertically or horizontally, independently and individually.

An easy to use plugin.

HalfStyle is a set of advanced CSS rules that allow styling each half or third of a character, vertically or horizontally, independently and individually.

Works on any dynamic text, or a single character, and is all automated. All you need to do is add a class on the target text and the rest is taken care of.

It also preservs the original text's accessibility for screen readers for the blind or visually impaired.

For a single character:

Pure CSS. All you need to do is add the classes .halfStyle [-CustomClassName-] to the element containing the character you want to be half-styled.

For each element containing the character, a data attribute holds the character, for example data-content="X", and the pseudo element uses content:attr(data-content); so the .halfStyle.[-CustomClassName-]:before class will be dynamic and you won't need to hard code it for every instance.

For Any text:

Simply add .textToHalfStyle class and data attribute data-halfstyle="[-CustomClassName-]" to the element containing the text. The included jQuery snippet will do the rest of the job.

You can also define multiple Half-Style style-sets and tell the plugin which one to use on your desired element.

The included demo.html file holds several examples for you.
