Answer 1

There is no actual way to do this unless you write some kind of regular expression that replaces hyperlinks etc and creates an image from them.

Try using regular expressions and extracting useful data from the tags.

Answer 2

you need to use GD to created your <img> sources or <div> backgrounds and then output the HTML separately atop them. GD is pure pixel pumping

   <?php ?>
   <div style="background-image: url('/image.php')"><a href="http://example.com&gt;a hyperlink</a></div>

image.php

   header('Content-type: image/png'); 
   $image = imagecreatetruecolor(...);
   // GD generation stuff
   imagepng($image);
