Element: getHTML() method
The getHTML() method of the Element interface is used to serialize an element's DOM to an HTML string.
The method provides an options argument that enables the serialization of child nodes that are shadow roots.
The options can be used to include nested shadow roots that have been set as serializable, and/or a specified array of ShadowRoot objects, which may be either open or closed.
Without arguments, child nodes that are shadow roots are not serialized, and this method behaves in the same way as reading the value of Element.innerHTML.
