How to write this without using JSX?
var CommentBox = React.createClass({ render: function() { return ( <div className="commentBox"> <h1>Comments</h1> <CommentList /> <CommentForm /> </div> ); } });
This comes from the react.js tutorial: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html
I know I can do the following:
return ( React.createElement('div', { className: "commentBox" }, React.createElement('h1', {}, "Comments") )
But this only adds one element. How can I add more next to one another.

You can use the online Babel REPL (https://babeljs.io/repl/) as a quick way to convert little chunks of JSX to the equivalent JavaScript.
var CommentBox = React.createClass({displayName: 'CommentBox', render: function() { return ( React.createElement("div", {className: "commentBox"}, React.createElement("h1", null, "Comments"), React.createElement(CommentList, null), React.createElement(CommentForm, null) ) ); } });
It’s also handy for checking what the transpiler outputs for the ES6 transforms it supports.
