Recipe for wrapping dangling text nodes with Cheerio

wrap_text_nodes.js

      var $head = $('.entry h2.orth');
      var $placeholder = $('<div></div>');

      var nodes = $head[0].children; // Raw children nodes
      // Strange enough this is an object!
      // To iterate correctly without dropping nodes
      // It must be converted to an array

      _.toArray(nodes).forEach(child => {
        if (child.type === 'text') {
          var text = child.data.trim();
          // If node is not empty
          if (text) {
            var $textNode = $('<span></span>')
              .addClass('text-node')
              .text(text);
            $placeholder.append($textNode);
          } // Inner if
        } else {
          $placeholder.append(child);
        }
      }); // forEach

      $head.empty().append($placeholder.html());
