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).
