Function to filter which elements will be "lettered" about lettering.js HOT 4 CLOSED

How about...

<nav>
  <a href="#">Link One</a>
  <a href="#">Link Two</a>
</nav>

...into...

<nav>
  <a href="#">
    <span class="char1">L</span>
    <span class="char2">i</span>
    <span class="char3">n</span>
    <span class="char4">k</span>
    <span class="char5"> </span>
    <span class="char6">O</span>
    <span class="char7">n</span>
    <span class="char8">e</span>
  </a>
  <a href="#">
    <span class="char9">L</span>
    <span class="char10">i</span>
    <span class="char11">n</span>
    <span class="char12">k</span>
    <span class="char13"> </span>
    <span class="char14">T</span>
    <span class="char15">w</span>
    <span class="char16">o</span>
  </a>
</nav>

Keeping the links inside??

@icalvo Great idea but I think its out of scope for what Lettering needs to do. Feel free to fork this and create SUPERLETTERING.js 😄

@tatygrassini That's already possible if you target $('nav a').lettering(); - it would keep the link and just wrap the text items.

@davatron5000 Hey Dave, you're absolutely right, however I did not explain myself really well, updated the code for my question. Trying to build a circular nav, keeping the links, giving each char a different number, NOT starting on char1 for every link/word. And yes, I played with https://github.com/peterhry/circletype already, no luck with that.

Hmm... yeah. Not sure that's really possible.

What I would do in your situation is:

• Break it up with $('nav a').lettering();
• Style with span:nth-of-type() (rather than char1 or whatever)
