Laravel - DOMDocument::loadXML(): Opening and ending tag mismatch - PhpWord error

I have 3 Blade files that are written in HTML, I am currently using WKHTMLTOPDF to export them to a PDF format, I now want to export the same HTML files to a Word Document.

So far, the best package for Laravel I can find is PhpWord.

Snippet of code:

<div class="page-break"></div>

<h3>Introduction</h3>

<p></p>

<p></p>

My code so far:

$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$section = $phpWord->addSection();    
$report = view('reports.audit-report', $data)->render();

\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Html::addHtml($section, $report, true);

$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.docx');

It is currently returning this error:

DOMDocument::loadXML(): Opening and ending tag mismatch: link line 1 and div in Entity, line: 1

The annoying thing is, is that no matter what line(s) I remove, that error always persists, until I remove literally every line of HTML!

I can prevent this error from happening by using the following code:

libxml_use_internal_errors(true);

However then, it returns:

ErrorException in Html.php line 136: Trying to get property of non-object

Has anybody successfully resolved these errors before? If you require any more code, please just let me know. Many thanks.
