What if tag contains text mixed with formatting nodes?

[jayarjo]

Consider html like this:

<p>
     Some text here with <strong>parts</strong> and some 
     <span style="color: purple;">inline styling</span>.
</p>

How do we convert this to HyperScript?

[dominictarr]

those values would be escaped - they'd appear in the text as <strong> not as tags. If you trust the string, then you can do h('div', {innerHTML: string}) but if it's a user provided string, that will be a security hole.

in that case, you just need to find an html escaping module, than can allow certain tags and not others.

innerHTML seems to work great for parsing an HTML string into a hyperscript object at runtime.

But for posterity I wanted to show an example of how to translate the above HTML snippet into hyperscript code, since you can supply a children array with a mix of strings and hyperscript tags like so:

h('p', [
    'Some text here with ',
     h('strong', 'parts'),
     ' and some',
     //etc.
])
