There is an alternative to create a DOM element that doesn't append to the body (actually the one from OP doesn't either!) :
const parser = new DOMParser() const floatingElement = parser.parseFromSrting(stringWithTags, 'text/xml') const string = floatingElement.innerText
You could also use document.createDocumentFragment(string), but fragment have no innerText, so in the end it's more complicated.
document.createDocumentFragment(string)
The method presented in the main post doesn't append to the body, either.
Ho you're right, I read that too quickly :p
