 * **Custom String Separator**
 You can use string separator to split the string by something else than " " (space). Example (split by characters):
-``<p data-ng-bind="paragraphText" data-ellipsis data-separator=""></p>``
+``<p data-ng-bind="paragraphText" data-ellipsis data-ellipsis-separator=""></p>``
