How to Truncate Text Containing HTML While Ensuring Correct Tag Closure?

    // Regex pattern for matching HTML tags, entities, and UTF-8 characters

        ? '{</?([a-z]+)[^>]*>|&amp;#?[a-zA-Z0-9]+;|[\x80-\xFF][\x80-\xBF]*}'
        : '{</?([a-z]+)[^>]*>|&amp;#?[a-zA-Z0-9]+;}';

    while ($printedLength < $maxLength && preg_match($re, $html, $match, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, $position))
    {
        // 1. Handle text leading up to the tag
        $str = substr($html, $position, $match[0][1] - $position);
        if ($printedLength + strlen($str) <= $maxLength)
        {

printTruncated(10, '<b><Hello></b> <img src="world.png" alt="" /> world!'); // Output: <b><Hello></b> <img
