Classics attributes (method : 'set')

$tag = HtmlTag::createElement('a')
    ->set('href','./sample.php')
    ->set('id','myID')
    ->text('my link');
echo( $tag );

<a href='./sample.php' id='myID'>my link</a>

Shortcut to set an ID attribute (method : 'id')

$tag = HtmlTag::createElement('div')
    ->id('myID');
echo( $tag );

<div id='myID'>my link</div>

Class management (method : 'addClass'/'removeClass')

$tag = HtmlTag::createElement('div')
    ->addClass('oneClass')
    ->text('my content')
echo( $tag );

<div class="oneClass">my content</div>

$tag = HtmlTag::createElement('div')
    ->addClass('aClass')
    ->addClass('anothereClass')
    ->text('my content')
echo( $tag );

<div class="aClass anothereClass">my content</div>

$tag = HtmlTag::createElement('div')
    ->addClass('firstClass')
    ->addClass('secondClass')
    ->text('my content')
    ->removeClass('firstClass');
echo( $tag );

<div class="secondClass">my content</div>

More

Text and content are generated according to the order of addition

$tag = HtmlTag::createElement('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 = HtmlTag::createElement('p')
    ->addElement('a')
    ->text('a link')
    ->getParent()
    ->text('a text');

or

$tag = HtmlTag::createElement('p');
$tag->addElement('a')->text('a link');
$tag->text('a text');

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