\# HTMLBuilder - best HTML generation class there is!

**HTMLBuilder** can be used to generate / build HTML using simple object-oriented interface.

Feature and usage run-through
-----------------------------

[](#feature-and-usage-run-through)

Some code snippets that showcase the **HTMLBuilder** features and API.

### Instance retrieval

[](#instance-retrieval)

To start building your HTML you first need to create HTMLBuilder object. Constructor doesn't need any arguments.

There are two ways that you can achieve this:

- new keyword
- HTMLBuilder::dispatch() method

Both of them will achieve the same thing but HTMLBuilder::dispatch() method has the ability to be a one-liner (at least in PHP versions < 5.4).

#### Initialization via new keyword

```

#### Initialization via HTMLBuilder::dispatch() method

[](#initialization-via-htmlbuilderdispatch-method)

```

```

### HTML generation

[](#html-generation)

Almost all instance methods will append a HTML tag to the generated HTML where tag name is method name. These methods support two arguments:

- content - content inside the tag
- attributes - tag attributes as key-value array where key is attribute name and value is attribute value

Both arguments are optional. It's also possible to pass *attributes* as the only argument. Tag will automatically close.

To keep the tag open you have two options:

- use HTMLBuilder::open() method before the tag method
- use HTMLBuilder::open() method and pass tag name and attributes as arguments for this method

#### Instance methods as tags
