append
const ul = document.createElement('ul'); for (const d of '123456') { const li = document.createElement('li'); li.textContent = d; ul.append(li); }
map/append
const ul = document.createElement('ul'); const lis = Array.from('123456').map((d) => { const li = document.createElement('li'); li.textContent = d; return li; }); ul.append(...lis);
