Highlights keywords (typically a search query) in a HTML string.

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
$html_text = '
  The truth about pizza and beer

    Beer and pizza.
    It might be one of the most obvious food pairings on the planet...

';

$highlighter = new \Yarri\KeywordsHighlighter();

echo $highlighter->highlight($html_text,"pizza beer");

//  The truth about pizza and beer
//
//
//    Beer and pizza.
//    It might be one of the most obvious food pairings on the planet...
//

```

The default tag for highlighting can be overwritten in options of the constructor.

```
$highlighter = new \Yarri\KeywordsHighlighter([
  "opening_tag" => '',
  "closing_tag" => '',
]);

echo $highlighter->highlight($html_text,"pizza beer");

//  The truth about pizza and beer
//
//
//    Beer and pizza.
//    It might be one of the most obvious food pairings on the planet...
//

```

KeywordsHighlighter doesn't highlight something inside a html tag.

```
$html_text = '
  The truth about the H1 element
';

$highlighter = new \Yarri\KeywordsHighlighter();

echo $highlighter->highlight($html_text,"h1");

// The truth about the H1 element
