    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Text from List</title>

    <script src="extractText.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <ul id="items">
        <li>first item</li>

The HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Text from List</title>
    <!--<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"-->
            <!--integrity="sha256-hVVnYaiADRTO2PzUGmuLJr8BLUSjGIZsDYGmIJLv2b8=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>-->
    <script src="src/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="src/extractText.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<ul id="items">
    <li>first item</li>
    <li>second item</li>
    <li>third item</li>
</ul>
<button id="showItems" onclick="extractText()">
    Extract Text
</button>
<div id="result"></div>
</body>
</html>

The jQuery code:

function extractText() {
    let items = $("ul#items li")
        .toArray()
        .map(li => li.textContent)
        .join(", ");
    $("#result").text(items);
}
