Once a custom element has been defined, it can be used as a regular DOM element:
```js
document.body.innerHTML = `
<my-element>
<p>This is some slotted content</p>
</my-element>
`;
```

By default, custom elements are compiled with `accessors: true`, which means that any [props](docs#Attributes_and_props) are exposed as properties of the DOM element (as well as being readable/writable as attributes, where possible).
To prevent this, add `accessors={false}` to `<svelte:options>`.

* Styles are *encapsulated*, rather than merely *scoped*. This means that any non-component styles (such as you might have in a `global.css` file) will not apply to the custom element, including styles with the `:global(...)` modifier
* Instead of being extracted out as a separate .css file, styles are inlined into the component as a JavaScript string
* Custom elements are not generally suitable for server-side rendering, as the shadow DOM is invisible until JavaScript loads
* In Svelte, slotted content renders *lazily*. In the DOM, it renders *eagerly*. In other words, it will always be created even if the component's `<slot>` element is inside an `{#if ...}` block. Similarly, including a `<slot>` in an `{#each ...}` block will not cause the slotted content to be rendered multiple times
* The `let:` directive has no effect
* Polyfills are required to support older browsers
