adding html with jquery

Question

is there a neat way to add html with jQuery instead of

$("#elm").html($("#elm").html() + "some text");

It'd be great to just do $("#elm").html(+= "some text") or something similar...

$('#elm').append('some text');

So doing this would just append a text node?

if you do .append('<span>some text</span>') you'll get it in a span ;)
