=========
html2text is a very simple script that uses DOM methods to convert HTML into a format similar to what would be
rendered by a browser - perfect for places where you need a quick text representation. For example:
```html
<html>
<title>Ignored Title</title>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is some e-mail content.
Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter
will handle it correctly.
<p>Even mismatched tags.</p>
<div>A div</div>
<div>Another div</div>
<div>A div<div>within a div</div></div>
<a href="http://foo.com">A link</a>
</body>
</html>
```
Will be converted into:
```text
Hello, World!
This is some e-mail content. Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter will handle it correctly.
Even mismatched tags.
A div
Another div
A div
within a div
[A link](http://foo.com)
```

## Installing
You can use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to add the [package](https://packagist.org/packages/soundasleep/html2text) to your project:
```json
{
"require": {
"soundasleep/html2text": "~1.1"
}
}
```
And then use it quite simply:
```php
$text = \Soundasleep\Html2Text::convert($html);
```
You can also include the supplied `html2text.php` and use `$text = convert_html_to_text($html);` instead.
### Options
| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| **ignore_errors** | `false` | Set to `true` to ignore any XML parsing errors. |
| **drop_links** | `false` | Set to `true` to not render links as `[http://foo.com](My Link)`, but rather just `My Link`. |
| **char_set** | `'auto'` | Specify a specific character set. Pass multiple character sets (comma separated) to detect encoding, default is ASCII,UTF-8 |
Pass along options as a second argument to `convert`, for example:
```php
$options = array(
'ignore_errors' => true,
// other options go here
);
$text = \Soundasleep\Html2Text::convert($html, $options);
```
## Tests
Some very basic tests are provided in the `tests/` directory. Run them with `composer install && vendor/bin/phpunit`.
## Troubleshooting
### Class 'DOMDocument' not found
You need to [install the PHP XML extension](https://github.com/soundasleep/html2text/issues/55) for your PHP version. e.g. `apt-get install php7.4-xml`
