innerText does not render HTML tags, innerHTML does. Be careful when you update an element's innerHTML with values from user inputs, even indirectly.

innerText: Retrieves and sets the content in plain text. We can not insert the HTML tags. It ignores the spaces. It returns text without an inner element tag. innerHTML: Retrieves and sets the content in HTML format. We can insert the HTML tags. It considers the spaces. It returns a tag with an inner element tag.
