Example E017 : pdfua2

/**
 * E017_pdfua2.php
 *
 * Demonstrates HTML auto-tagging in 'pdfua2' (PDF/UA-2, ISO 14289-2) mode.
 *
 * PDF/UA-2 is the second generation of the accessible-PDF standard, standardised
 * as ISO 14289-2 and built on PDF 2.0.  Key differences from PDF/UA-1:
 *   - Targets PDF version 2.0 (pdfver 2.0 in catalog)
 *   - Uses the PDF/UA-2 XMP identification schema
 *   - The same structure-tree, MarkInfo, /Lang, and heading-clamping rules apply
 *
 * Every HTML element rendered by addHTMLCell() is automatically mapped to the
 * corresponding PDF structure role - no beginStructElem() calls required.
 * Compare with E063 which builds the same structure tree manually.
 *
 * Auto-tagged roles exercised here:
 *   h1-h3       → H1-H3     (heading hierarchy)
 *   p           → P         (paragraph)
 *   blockquote  → BlockQuote
 *   pre         → Code
 *   ul / ol     → L         (list; li → LI > Lbl + LBody auto-generated)
 *   figure      → Figure
 *   img[alt]    → Figure + /Alt (alt text written to struct-elem dictionary)
 *   figcaption  → Caption
 *   table       → Table     (tr → TR, th → TH, td → TD, caption → Caption)
 *   a           → Link
