Plan: Expand Main PHP Class to Cover All Possible HTML Elements

Objective

Expand the PHP HTML builder to: - Include a dedicated class for every HTML5 and deprecated HTML element (maximum coverage). - Provide static factory methods in the main class (HtmlElement) for each element.

1. Inventory and Gap Analysis

• Current Coverage: 66 element classes found in `src/` (see appendix for list).
• Required Coverage: All HTML5 elements + all deprecated elements (see MDN HTML element reference).
• Action: Compare the current list to the canonical list and identify missing elements.

2. Class Generation

• For each missing element, create a class:
  class ElementName extends HtmlElement {
      public function __construct(/relevant params/) {
          parent::__construct('elementname');
          // Optionally set default attributes or content
      }
  }
  

• Place each class in its own file: `src/elementname.php`.

3. Static Factory Methods

• In `HtmlElement`, add a static method for each element:
  public static function elementname(/params/) {
      return new ElementName(/params/);
  }
  

• This enables usage like: `HtmlElement::div()`, `HtmlElement::marquee()`, etc.

4. Maintainability

• Maintain a master list of elements (e.g., in a JSON or PHP array) to automate class and method generation.
• Document the process for adding new elements in the future.

5. Documentation

• Update the README to explain: - How to use the static factory methods. - How to extend with new elements. - The project's coverage philosophy (all HTML5 + deprecated).

6. Example Mermaid Diagram

classDiagram
    class HtmlElement {
        +static div()
        +static marquee()
        +static p()
        %% ... one for each element ...
    }
    class Div
    class Marquee
    class P
    %% ... more element classes ...
    HtmlElement <|-- Div
    HtmlElement <|-- Marquee
    HtmlElement <|-- P
    %% ... more inheritance ...

7. Implementation Steps

1. List all HTML5 and deprecated elements.
2. Identify missing classes.
3. Generate missing class files.
4. Add static factory methods to HtmlElement.
5. Test instantiation and HTML output for all elements.
6. Update documentation.

Notes

• Deprecated elements (e.g., `<marquee>`, `<font>`, `<center>`, etc.) should be included for completeness.
• Custom elements (web components) are not included unless requested.
• For elements with special attributes or content, tailor the constructor as needed.
