Similarly, we don't always know in advance what kind of DOM element to render. <svelte:element> comes in handy here. As with the previous exercise, we can replace a long sequence of if blocks with a single dynamic element:
App.svelte
<select bind:value={selected}>
{#each options as option}
<option value={option}>{option}</option>
{/each}
</select>
<svelte:element this={selected}>
I'm a <code><{selected}></code> element
</svelte:element>The this value can be any string, or a falsy value — if it's falsy, no element is rendered.

<script>
const options = ['h1', 'h2', 'h3', 'p', 'marquee'];
let selected = options[0];
</script>
<select bind:value={selected}> {#each options as option} <option value={option}>{option}</option> {/each}</select>
{#if selected === 'h1'}<h1>I'm a <code><h1></code> element</h1>
{:else}<p>TODO others</p>
{/if}
