plug-message-split

Reliable message splitting for plug.dj chat messages.

Why?

plug.dj's chat server truncates chat messages at 250 bytes (not characters). It also first html-escapes some characters before truncating. This leads to funny bugs when using certain characters:

This library splits or truncates messages taking all known plug.dj oddities into account.
