interface Htmlable extends Stringable

Interface for objects that hold HTML and can be shown in other forms.

This interface provides a standardized way for objects that carry HTML to hand it over, either as the markup itself or converted into Markdown or readable text. Any class that wraps or represents HTML should implement this interface so that consumers can reliably obtain it in the form they need.

#Methods

#toHtml()

public function toHtml(): string

Returns the HTML held by the object.

This method hands back the markup itself, unchanged. It returns the same value as toString(); both exist so that code reading HTML can say so by name, while anything expecting a plain string still works.

Returns string — The HTML markup

#toMarkdown()

public function toMarkdown(): string

Returns the HTML converted to Markdown.

Markdown is a plain-text way of writing formatted documents, where a heading is written with # and bold text with **stars**. This is useful for storing content in a form people can edit by hand.

Returns string — The content written as Markdown

#toString()

public function toString(): string

Returns the HTML as a string.

This method provides the object's default string form, which is the markup itself. It returns the same value as toHtml().

Returns string — The HTML markup

#toText()

public function toText(): string

Returns just the readable text, with the markup removed.

Tags are stripped and entities such as & are turned back into the characters they stand for, leaving what a reader would see on the page.

Returns string — The readable text without any markup
