truncate html with tags

I was working on truncating rich contents on HTML editors. On the server side, we need to count the number of characters, then we need to truncate the string with keeping the HTML tags intact.

There is a class to truncate a rich text on the specific number of character or word number: http://www.pjgalbraith.com/2011/11/truncating-text-html-with-php/. This class uses php's DOMDocument. It parses each DOM element and count the characters appropriately. I have updated the pattern in the regular expression to allow all non space characters.

preg_match_all('/[\d\w ]+/us',$newEle->textContent,$m);

The textContent method only returns the text contents within a DOM.
