Why was it not appropriate to use .html when appending the span tags?

I'm not sure, if it is so, but I treat .html() method almost the same as I would treat .innerHTML in vanilla JS.

For example, this was my solution for task 4/5:

$('a').each(function(index){
  console.log(index, $(this).html());
});

I used .html() to get the innerHTML content of the <a> tags, while Treasure used .text().

The code being appended in this exercise is HTML code. It's just being added to the page by the JavaScript program.
