Moodle has a class called html_writer which allows you to output basic HTML tags. This is typically used within renderer functions (or by naughty people in scripts which are outputting content without using a renderer).
There is no documentation for most of this class. Please look at the source code in moodle/lib/outputcomponents.php
div, span methods
Moodle 2.5
To allow shorter code when outputting the div and span tags with classes, div and span methods were added in Moodle 2.5.
Example usage:
$out .= html_writer::div('anonymous');
$out .= html_writer::div('kermit', 'frog');
$out .= html_writer::start_span('zombie') . 'BRAINS' . html_writer::end_span();
$out .= html_writer::div('Mr', 'toad', array('id' => 'tophat'));
This will result in the following HTML from each line:
<div>anonymous</div> <div class="frog">kermit</div> <span class="zombie">BRAINS</span> <div class="toad" id="tophat">Mr</div>
For detailed usage information, see the source code.
