How is this not valid HTML when converting to Doc?
Here is the phpword document
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$phpWord->setDefaultFontSize(10);
$phpWord->setDefaultFontName('Calibri');
$phpWord->setDefaultParagraphStyle(
array(
'spaceAfter' => \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::pointToTwip(0))
);
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Html::addHtml($section, $html, false, false);
Could someone help me determine what causes the error,
Disregard this text below: What is Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book it has?
Please check $html variable. There are apostrophe in the html. If you are using complete html as string.
