+### `prettyDOM`
+
+This helper function can be used to print out readable representation of the DOM
+tree of a node. This can be helpful for instance when debugging tests.
+
+It is defined as:
+
+```typescript
+function prettyDOM(node: HTMLElement, maxLength?: number): string
+```
+
+It receives the root node to print out, and an optional extra argument to limit
+the size of the resulting string, for cases when it becomes too large.
+
+This function is usually used alongside `console.log` to temporarily print out
+DOM trees during tests for debugging purposes:
+
+```javascript
+const div = document.createElement('div')
+div.innerHTML = '<div><h1>Hello World</h1></div>'
+console.log(prettyDOM(div))
+// <div>
+//   <h1>Hello World</h1>
+// </div>
+```
+
+This function is what also powers [the automatic debugging output described above](#debugging).
+
