-When constructing a custom element, you can tailor several aspects by defining `customElement` as an object within `<svelte:options>`. This object comprises a mandatory `tag` property for the custom element's name, an optional `shadow` property that can be set to `"none"` to forgo shadow root creation, and a `props` option, which offers the following settings:
+When constructing a custom element, you can tailor several aspects by defining `customElement` as an object within `<svelte:options>`. This object comprises a mandatory `tag` property for the custom element's name, an optional `shadow` property that can be set to `"none"` to forgo shadow root creation (note that styles are then no longer encapsulated, and you can't use slots), and a `props` option, which offers the following settings:
 
 - `attribute: string`: To update a custom element's prop, you have two alternatives: either set the property on the custom element's reference as illustrated above or use an HTML attribute. For the latter, the default attribute name is the lowercase property name. Modify this by assigning `attribute: "<desired name>"`.
 - `reflect: boolean`: By default, updated prop values do not reflect back to the DOM. To enable this behavior, set `reflect: true`.
