+<p><span class="seoSummary">The <code><strong>innerText</strong></code> property of the {{domxref("HTMLElement")}} interface represents the "rendered" text content of a node and its descendants.</span> As a getter, it approximates the text the user would get if they highlighted the contents of the element with the cursor and then copied it to the clipboard.</p>
+
+<div class="blockIndicator note">
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> <code>innerText</code> is easily confused with {{domxref("Node.textContent")}}, but there are important differences between the two. Basically, <code>innerText</code> is aware of the rendered appearance of text, while <code>textContent</code> is not.</p>

If the element itself is not <a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#being-rendered">being rendered</a> (e.g detached from the document or is hidden from view), the returned value is the same as the {{domxref("Node.textContent")}} property.</p>

+<h2 id="Example">Example</h2>
+
+<p>This example compares <code>innerText</code> with {{domxref("Node.textContent")}}. Note how <code>innerText</code> is aware of things like {{htmlElement("br")}} elements, and ignores hidden elements.</p>
