Hello @kartik,

To evaporate the warning, you can use libxml_use_internal_errors(true)

// create new DOMDocument
$document = new \DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');

// set error level
$internalErrors = libxml_use_internal_errors(true);

// load HTML
$document->loadHTML($html);

// Restore error level
libxml_use_internal_errors($internalErrors);

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
