I'm sure that's the best way forward. Thanks!

One issue is that a writer may not know when s/he begins how many tweets will be in the thread. It's a work in progress. So they might opt for any of the following, at the beginning or end of each tweet:

- "1/20" (where they go back and adjust the numbering before publishing)
- "1/x" (where they may, in the final tweet, write something like "19/19", if there are 19 tweets)
- "1 " or "1. " or "1/ " at the beginning or end of a tweet.

Additionally, some writers like to mark their final tweet with "ENDS" or "end/" or even "fin" (for finish).

I suspect it would be impossible to cater for all options, but it might be good to know the diversity around.

Thanks again.

Good idea, and thanks. Just bear in mind that those who do Twitter threads:

- may want to start or end a given tweet with '...' or '1/10' or '1/x' to indicate that something further is happening
- prefer not to end a tweet mid-word, but rather in a place which beckons the reader on to the next tweet.

So there needs, I think, to be the possibility of the writer choosing where and how to break to the next chunk of writing. Automating it too much is unlikely to give adequate flexibility.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1348964732104007680.html is probably the biggest Twitter thread out there, currently, and I note that a writer:

- may start his tweet with numerals, or put them at the end of each tweet. or three dots, etc
- may want to use Twitter emojis.

Thanks for responding!
