More

Text and content are generated according to the order of addition
$tag = $html->tag('p')
	->text('a text')
	->addElement('a')
	->text('a link');
// <p>ma text<a>a link</a></p>

To generate content before text, 2 solutions :
$tag = $html->tag('p')
	->addElement('a')
	->text('a link')
	->getParent()
	->text('a text');
or
$tag = $html->tag('p');
$tag->addElement('a')->text('a link');
$tag->text('a text');

// <p><a>a link</a>a text</p>
