Demo

Usage

in terms of CSS styling, it does most of the layout, and tags the middle text as .matchText. You can style it however you'd like.

the method returns html-strings by default, but the library uses Jason Miller's htm library so you can return React Components, or anything:

doc.htmlAlign(matchStr, {bind: React.createElement})
