Or directly include the Splitting.js from a CDN.

<script src="//unpkg.com/splitting/splitting.js"></script>

Split the text content into words.

<p data-splitting-words>Hello World!</p>

Splitting.words("[data-splitting-words]");

<!-- Output -->
<p class="splitting" data-splitting-chars style="--total-words:1;">
  <span class="word" data-word="Hello" style="--word-index:0;">Hello</i>
  <span class="word" data-word="World!" style="--word-index:1;">World!</i>
</p>

Split the text content into characters.

<p data-splitting-chars>HELLO</p>

Splitting.chars("[data-splitting-chars]");

<!-- Output -->
