Replace a textNode with HTML text in Javascript?

Question

I was directed to the Linkify project on GitHub (https://github.com/cowboy/javascript-linkify) for finding and \"linkifying\" URLs and domains just floating in text.

Answer 1

Additionally to previous answer I propose more short way (based on jQuery):

$(n).replaceWith('Some text with html support');

where n - is textNode.

Or the native version

var txt = document.createElement("span");
txt.innerHTML = "Some text with html support";
node.replaceWith(txt);

where node is the textNode
