      _Not to be confused with [`split`](#split-_deprecated_), which is deprecated._

      Slices `input` into the substrings separated by `separator`, returning a
      slice of the substrings between those separators. If `input` does not
      contain `separator` and `separator` is not empty, returns a single-element
      slice whose only element is `input`.

      If `separator` is empty, it will split after each UTF-8 sequence. If
      both inputs are empty (i.e. `strings.Split "" ""`), it will return an
      empty slice.

      This is equivalent to [`strings.SplitN`](#stringssplitn) with a `count`
      of `-1`.

      Note that the delimiter is not included in the resulting elements.

  - name: strings.SplitN
    released: v1.9.0
    description: |
      _Not to be confused with [`splitN`](#splitn-_deprecated_), which is deprecated._

      Slices `input` into the substrings separated by `separator`, returning a
      slice of the substrings between those separators. If `input` does not
      contain `separator` and `separator` is not empty, returns a single-element
      slice whose only element is `input`.

      The `count` determines the number of substrings to return:

      * `count > 0`: at most `count` substrings; the last substring will be the
        unsplit remainder.
      * `count == 0`: the result is nil (zero substrings)
      * `count < 0`: all substrings

      See [`strings.Split`](#stringssplit) for more details.

      When words that are longer than the desired width are encountered (e.g. long URLs), they are not broken up. Correctness is valued above line length.

      Return the number of _runes_ (Unicode code-points) contained within the
      input. This is similar to the built-in `len` function, but `len` counts
      the length in _bytes_. The length of an input containing multi-byte
      code-points should therefore be measured with `strings.RuneCount`.

      Inputs will first be converted to strings, and multiple inputs are
      concatenated.

      This wraps Go's [`utf8.RuneCountInString`](https://pkg.go.dev/unicode/utf8/#RuneCountInString)
      function.

        Ω is 2 bytes and 1 runes
        0 is 1 bytes and 1 runes
