```php
-$html = new \Html2Text\Html2Text('Hello, "world"');
+$html2text = new \Html2Text\Html2Text('Hello, "world"');
-echo $html->getText(); // Hello, "WORLD"
+echo $html2text->getText(); // Hello, "WORLD"

+```php
+$html2text = new \Html2Text\Html2Text(string $html, array $options = []);
+```
+
+Options and defaults are:
+```php
+[
+ 'do_links' => 'inline', // 'none'
+ // 'inline' (show links inline)
+ // 'nextline' (show links on the next line)
+ // 'table' (if a table of link URLs should be listed after the text.
+ // 'bbcode' (show links as bbcode)
+
+ 'width' => 70, // Maximum width of the formatted text, in columns.
+ // Set this value to 0 (or less) to ignore word wrapping
+ // and not constrain text to a fixed-width column.
+
+ 'plain_text' => false, // If true then disables various pseudo formatting:
+ // No converting bold, th or headings to upper case.
+ // No character conversion to simulate strike through for
+ // No adding _ around italic text ( and tags)
+ //
is replaced by "\n\n" rather than "\n-------------------------\n"
