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.

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.

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.
