Drop/Undrop Text Formatting Tags

See more HTML-to-XML/Text Examples

Demonstrates how the DropTextFormattingTags and UndropTextFormattingTags methods work in the Html-to-Xml API. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\HtmlToXml;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$html = '<html><body><p><b>Hello</b> World!<p>This is a test</body></html>';

// Convert the above to XML
$h2x = new HtmlToXml();

// By default, text formatting tags are dropped. Text formatting HTML tags are: b, font, i, u, br, center, em, strong, big, tt, s, small, strike, sub, and sup
$h2x->Html = $html;
echo $h2x->ToXml(), "\n";

// The resulting XML is:

/*
 * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 * <root>
 *     <html>
 *         <body>
 *             <p>
 *                 <text>Hello World!</text>
 *             </p>
 *             <p>
 *                 <text>This is a test</text>
 *             </p>
 *         </body>
 *     </html>
 * </root>
 */

// To preserve text formatting tags, put the h2x instance into the mode where text formatting tags are not dropped:
$h2x->UndropTextFormattingTags();

// Convert again to see the difference:
echo $h2x->ToXml(), "\n";

// The resulting XML is:

/*
 * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 * <root>
 *     <html>
 *         <body>
 *             <p>
 *                 <b>
 *                     <text>Hello</text>
 *                 </b>
 *                 <text> World!</text>
 *             </p>
 *             <p>
 *                 <text>This is a test</text>
 *             </p>
 *         </body>
 *     </html>

// Call DropTextFormattingTags to put the h2x instance back in "drop" mode.
$h2x->DropTextFormattingTags();

// Convert again to see the difference:
echo $h2x->ToXml(), "\n";

// The resulting XML is:

/*
