How to create single lines from a plain text field with line breaks

Question

Building on this question here: Create line breaks from text field

What approach would be best for breaking a multi line plain text field into multiple single lines to be used as:

<span>{{ textfield.lineOne }}</span>
<span>{{ textfield.lineTwo }}</span>
<span>{{ textfield.lineThree }}</span>

At the moment, my approach is to use a Matrix for the user to be able to add individual lines, but I'd much rather I was able to present the client with a multiline text field and rework them in the template.

Answer 1

{% set text %}
    Here is some
    Text that spans
    multiple lines
{% endset %}

{% set textArray = text | split('\n') | filter %}

{% for line in textArray %}
    <span>{{ line }}</span>
{% endfor %}

Answer 2

I've made a little macro for this:

{% macro splitText(text) %}
  {% set text = text|nl2br|raw %}
  {% set text = '<span class="split_text">' ~ text|replace('<br />', '</span> <span class="split_text">') ~ '</span>' %}
  {{ text|raw }}
{% endmacro %}

You may need to tweak it a bit, but this is what worked for me.
