A regular expression is probably the best thing to use. This is nearly
working (but not quite)
typeone = function(self, delay, text, content) {
var next;
if (text.length > 0) {
next = text.match(/(\s?(<[^>]*>)?\s?(&[^&]*;|[^<]))/)[0];
text = text.substr(next.length);
content = content+next;
$(self)
.html(content+'<span style="visibility:hidden">'+text+'<'+'/span>');
setTimeout(function(){
typeone(self, delay, text, content);
}, delay);
}
}
The reason I think it doesn't work is that there is a open tag without
its matching closing tag.
