CloseBreaks up text into separate layers.
Based on user feedback v3 now has 2 modes:
- Keep original position using expressions (new layers have the same text as the original layer with some elements hidden)
- Approximated position without expressions (new layers are 1 char/word/line long)
Each mode has 3 choices:
- Split into characters
- Split into words
- Split into lines
After completion you will have a layer for each character/word/line.
