 | `customElement` | `false` | If `true`, tells the compiler to generate a custom element constructor instead of a regular Svelte component.
 | `tag` | `null` | A `string` that tells Svelte what tag name to register the custom element with. It must be a lowercase alphanumeric string with at least one hyphen, e.g. `"my-element"`.
 | `css` | `true` | If `true`, styles will be included in the JavaScript class and injected at runtime. It's recommended that you set this to `false` and use the CSS that is statically generated, as it will result in smaller JavaScript bundles and better performance.
-| `preserveComments` | `false` | If `true`, your HTML comments will be recreated inside your component. By default, they are stripped out.
+| `preserveComments` | `false` | If `true`, your HTML comments will be preserved during server-side rendering. By default, they are stripped out.
 | `preserveWhitespace` | `false` | If `true`, whitespace inside and between elements is kept as you typed it, rather than optimised by Svelte.
 | `outputFilename` | `null` | A `string` used for your JavaScript sourcemap.
 | `cssOutputFilename` | `null` | A `string` used for your CSS sourcemap.
