Thanks for the tip, John. Maybe I don't quite grok it, but could it handle cases like this?
<div>This is <b>bold</b>.</div> It seems to me that innerWrap could give me this: <div><span>This is <b><span>bold</span></b>.</span></div> but what I'm really after is this: <div><span>This is </span><b><span>bold</span></b><span>.</span></div> In other words, I'm looking for a way to manipulate all text nodes themselves, regardless of whether they are the sole children of their parent node. Since jQuery ignores text nodes, I think I would have to use a custom traverse function instead. Does this make sense?
