A deep version of Floki.text/1? about floki HOT 2 CLOSED

@citizenparker Great to know that you like and is using Floki! 😃

I like your idea. I was in doubt when I added the Floki.text/1, if it should work with this "deep" behavior by default. I choose to not follow this path, but I don't remember why.

We can make the Floki.text/1 work with the "deep" strategy by default. It can also have an option to make it work as it is today. The option could be like you mentioned, but setted to true by default.

Examples:

iex> Floki.text("<div><span>something else</span>hello world</div>")
"something elsehello world"

iex> Floki.text("<div><span>something else</span>hello world</div>", deep: false)
"hello world"

What do you think?

@citizenparker following your suggestion, I changed the behavior of Floki.text/1 to perform a deep search and I added an option (deep) to disable the deep search if needed.

Please check the docs for more details.
You need to update your projects to use the version 0.2.0 of Floki.

Thanks for the suggestion!
