Inconsistent argument name in write: txt vs text

[stenci]

There are five methods that add text to the document: four of them (text, cell, multi_cell and write) use the txt argument and one of them (write_html) uses text.

It's inconsistent, isn't pretty, fixing it would break everything, sooo... yeah... I just had to say it.

Maybe it is possible to deprecate that text in write_html, renaming it to txt to make it consistent with the other methods, but keep the good old txt still working under the hood for backward compatibility?

Ahaha 😄 Yeah I agree, it's not pretty

Honestly, I'm not convinced that it would be worth the hassle 😅

I totally agree! (that's why this is a discussion and not an issue)
But I also couldn't keep it for myself 😃

For your information, we are planning to deprecate txt= in favour of text=: #903
