truncate-html
=============

[](#truncate-html)

A lightweight PHP library to safely truncate HTML strings **without breaking tags or cutting words**.

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require gherardobertini/truncate-html
```

🚀 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

```
use Gherardobertini\TruncateHtml\TruncateHtml;

$html = "Hello this is a test";

echo TruncateHtml::truncate($html, 0, 10);
// Output: Hello this

echo TruncateHtml::truncate($html, 10);
// Output: is a test
```

### 🔧 Method Signature

[](#-method-signature)

```
public static function truncate(string $html, int $start = 0, ?int $length = null): string
```

- `$start` — The character offset where to begin (default is `0`).
- `$length` — The number of characters to include (optional). If `null`, returns everything from `$start` to the end.
- Words are never cut in half.
- Open tags are properly closed to maintain valid HTML.

✅ Example
---------

[](#-example)

```
$html = "Hello this is a test";

TruncateHtml::truncate($html, 0, 10);  // Hello this
TruncateHtml::truncate($html, 10);     // is a test
```

🧪 Running Tests
