missing documentation for the children prop?

[WillsterJohnson]

I can't find anywhere in the docs that directly explains the children prop, what it's for, and how to use it. Have I missed something?

I can see several places where children is used, but none of them are actually discussing the prop itself.

A section under https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$props which explains the children prop directly would be ideal imo.

It is currently explained here.

Any content inside the component tags that is not a snippet declaration implicitly becomes part of the children snippet

It didn't occur to me to look in the snippets section, maybe a link to that section under $props would be a good idea? imo the children prop seems more prop related than snippet related; you don't have to write #snippet to use children but you do have to write $props

You don't have to write {#snippet} but you do have to write {@render} - which turns up relevant stuff when searched for in the documentation.

Is the concern here that you didn't know how to do something in Svelte - or is the concern that you were reading someone else's Svelte components and it wasn't clear what it was for?

I don't think we necessarily want to try to make it so that everything in the reference documentation links to all of the other adjacent things that you might be interested in. The tutorial exists for this sort of high-level explanation of the big concepts in a good order - and this is all covered in the tutorial.
