Separate DOM parsing and conversion

[valentinbonneaud]

This PR split the convert function into two public sub-functions getDom and convertDOM. This change allows you to easily have access to the parsed Dom object outside of the library. Furthermore, the function convertDOM use a new parameter to clone the DOM before it processes it as the conversion will remove the nodes of the DOM object.

Hello, thank you for your contribution!

I'm curious as to some of the background of this change. If you wanted access to the DOM of the source, could you not directly use \DOMDocument#loadHTML and load your own DOM instance?

Or, is it that you're looking to get html2text to convert an already-loaded \DOMDocument through #convertDOM()?

Hi,

Thanks for your comment! Indeed, we already have the dom object loaded and we need to convert it using your #convertDOM() without reloading the dom object.
