JQUERY, TEXT, appending an LI to a list with a SPAN wrapped?
<p>here is my current line of code:</p>

<pre><code>$("&lt;li&gt;").text($(this).text()).appendTo("#theList");
</code></pre>

<p>Which results in</p>

<pre><code>&lt;ul id="theList"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;blah&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;blah&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>How can I update that code above to result in:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;ul id="theList"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;blah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;blah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
</code></pre>
