提取标签以及文本PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser Manual

Question

Hi I am using the following to extract the li content, everything works fine but I would like to also include the and tags as well as the text. what do i need to write instead of "$element2->plaintext"???

 // Create DOM from URL or file
    $html = file_get_html('2002-10-01.html');

    // Find all images 
    foreach($html->find('table tr[bgcolor=#FFCCCC]') as $element) {
           foreach($element->find('li') as $element2) { 

///just plain text
            echo $element2->plaintext . '<br>'; 

///plain text and html elements

echo $element2->html. '<br>';

           }

           }

here is the html i am extracting

<tr bgcolor="#FFCCCC"> <!-- HEADLINE TEXT --> 
                      <td class="blue_body">
