Html to PDFlib
==============

[](#html-to-pdflib)

An extendable library to convert HTML-Content to text usable with textflows of [PDFlib](http://pdflib.com)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via [composer](https://getcomposer.org) like this:

```
composer require org_heigl/html-to-pdflib
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your PHP-Code you can use the package like this:

```
$converter = new Converter();
$pdflibtext = $converter->convert($htmlcontent);

// $pdflibtext now contains calls to macros.
// The macros themselves need to be prepend to the text though!!
$pdflibtext = '' . $pdflibtext;
```

Alternatively – to get full flexibility – you can create the Converter with your own ConverterList like this:

```
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\Converter;
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\ConverterList;
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\Converter\Em;
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\Converter\Li;
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\Converter\Ol;
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\Converter\P;
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\Converter\Strong;
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\Converter\Ul;
use Org_Heigl\HtmlToPdflib\Factory;

$converter = new Converter(Factory::fromConverterList(ConverterList::createViaReflection([
    'em' => Em::class,
    'li' => Li::class,
    'ol' => Ol::class,
    'p' => P::class,
    'strong' => Strong::class,
    'ul' => Ul::class,
])));
```

This allows you to also add your own Converter-implementations as long as they implement the ConvertertInterface.

Currently the following macros are defined:

- bold
- bolditalic
- italic

The following HTML-Tags are currently supported:

- em
- li
- ol
- p
- strong
- ul

Further Tags can be added. Feel free to fork this repository and open a PullRequest for further tags.
