Description

When I was trying to follow this documentation: https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-a-website.html#optional-try-react-with-jsx
all worked fine until I replaced native JavaScript to JSX.

The missing step is to replace the line:
ReactDOM.render(e(LikeButton), domContainer);
with
ReactDOM.render(<LikeButton />, domContainer);

Research direction

Open the linked “Add React to a Website” documentation section and review the “Try React with JSX” instructions. Make the JSX replacement explicit by showing how the ReactDOM.render line changes, then verify that the example is consistent and that a newcomer can follow it without the missing step.
