Title
Body
I am trying to break the following sentence in words and wrap them in span. <p class="german_p big">Das ist ein schönes Armband</p> I followed this: How to get a word under cursor using JavaScript? $('p').each(function() { var $this = $(this); $this.html($this.text().replace(/\b(\w+)\b/g, "<span>$1</span>")); }); The only problem i am facing is, after wrapping the words in span the resultant html is like this: <p class="german_p big"><span>Das</span> <span>ist</span> <span>ein</span> <span>sch</span>ö<span>nes</span> <span>Armband</span>.</p> so, schönes is broken into three words sch, ö and nes. why this is happening? What could be the correct regex for this?
