So is this basically a safe version of innerHTML?

I'm confused as to why you need a "safe" version if you're the one generating and injecting the HTML.

It was kind of strange to have bbcode and wiki markup specifically to avoid allowing users to use html.

Gruber’s original markdown tool passes HTML straight through, it was designed to make writing long-form content easier.

Markdown implementations can do any of that, only allowing a whitelist of HTML elements (GFM), or not allowing HTML at all.
