PHP HTML to Text Update

This `html2text` class is a PHP script that converts HTML content into formatted plain text. It strips out HTML tags, replaces special characters with their text equivalents, and applies some basic formatting for headers, lists, and links.

However, this version of the class appears outdated and uses deprecated PHP functionalities, such as the `/e` modifier in `preg_replace()`, which was removed in PHP 7. If you're working with a modern PHP version, this class will likely cause errors.

### How to Fix and Update the Code:
1. **Replace the `/e` modifier in `preg_replace()`**
– Instead of `/e`, use `preg_replace_callback()` with a callback function.
2. **Use `private` and `public` visibility**
– Instead of `var`, use `public`, `private`, or `protected` for better encapsulation.
3. **Consider Using `DOMDocument` Instead of Regex**
– The `DOMDocument` class provides a more reliable way to parse and manipulate HTML.

### Alternative Approach:
If you're looking for an actively maintained solution, consider using:
– [`html2text/html2text`](https://github.com/html2text/html2text) (a modern PHP library for HTML to text conversion)
– PHP’s built-in `strip_tags()` function for basic HTML stripping.
