untrusted user input with x-text?

[benkoshy]

I have some user input that I wish to display, back on the webpage:

<p x-text="`${untrusted_user_input}  `">
</p>

x-text documentation

Is the above code safe? Do I need to sanitize before displaying it to the user?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

x-text uses innerText, so it should be safe to use.
you can't have any html tags or attributes when setting the content using innerText.
