		<span class="letter">s</span>
	</i>
</h2>

If invoked like this:

import Splitter from 'split-html-to-chars';

Splitter(html,'<span class="letter">$</span>');

Why i did that

For animations like this one:

Common use case might be replacing HTML on load:

import Splitter from 'split-html-to-chars';
// iterating each replaced element
let els = document.querySelectorAll(".js-splitme");
[].forEach.call(els, function(el) {
	// outerHTML, thats *important*, no direct text nodes should be in parsed HTML
	el.outerHTML = Splitter(el.outerHTML, '<span class="letter">$</span>');
});
