HTML String to Element mootools

Question

I'm looking for a way to create elements form string eg this doesnt work:

$('some').adopt('<span>test</span>');

you must use new Element but i have a huge html string. I could do this:

new Element('div', {html: hugeHtmlString});

but its so wrong. why can't it be as simple as it is in jquery
