wrapper.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Part 2 "));
let node = wrapper.firstChild;
let result = "Before normalization:\n";
while (node) {
 result += ` ${node.nodeName}: ${node.nodeValue}\n`;
 node = node.nextSibling;
}
wrapper.normalize();
node = wrapper.firstChild;
result += "\n\nAfter normalization:\n";
