Why? It cannot help to add structure to your text. And what is the "line of text" in HTML? There is no such thing. The whole idea is bad.

The div is loading data dynamically. I want to display it in pages. So I am splitting it. Can u help me in that?

I understand that. But it does not make you approach sensible. Please see my answer.

Bad idea. Please see my comment to the question.

And there is no such concept as "line of text" in HTML. From the standpoint of HTML, all the lines in source HTML are merged together, all end-of-line characters are merged to a single blank space, all combinations of tabs, end-of-line characters and spaces are merged to a single blank space.

Text should be structured logically and semantically, depending on its content. No technical tricks can make big solid piece of text more structured or more readable.

You still did not respond to my note: you don't define what is "line". Of course you can manipulate text the way you want, but the whole idea is wrong. Why it is not structured in first place where you generate text? Do you have any processing on the server side? If it accepts some data from some data source, I assume you do. Why are you not mentioning that? Of course you can manipulate text the way you want, either on server side or by Javascript, but how it could be a problem? If you knew how do you want to have the text you would do it by yourself.

Wrong. The actual "lines" will depend on the size of the window.
