Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use HtmlFormatter\HtmlFormatter; // Load HTML that already has doctype and stuff $formatter = new HtmlFormatter( $html ); // ...or one that doesn't have it $formatter = new HtmlFormatter( HtmlFormatter::wrapHTML( $html ) ); // Add rules to remove some stuff $formatter->remove( 'img' ); $formatter->remove( [ '.some_css_class', '#some_id', 'div.some_other_class' ] ); // Only the above syntax is supported, not full CSS/jQuery selectors // These tags get replaced with their inner HTML, // e.g. <tag>foo</tag> --> foo // Only tag names are supported here $formatter->flatten( 'span' ); $formatter->flatten( [ 'code', 'pre' ] ); // Actually perform the removals $formatter->filterContent(); // Direct DomDocument manipulations are possible $formatter->getDoc()->createElement( 'p', 'Appended paragraph' ); // Get resulting HTML $processedHtml = $formatter->getText(); ``` License ------- [](#license) Copyright 2011-2024 MediaWiki contributors Released under the GNU General Public License version 2, see `COPYING`. ### Health Score 52 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance57 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity43 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community25 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity70 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor3 3 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
