Components can be placed in a named slot using the syntax `<Component slot="name" />`.
In order to place content in a slot without using a wrapper element, you can use the special element `<svelte:fragment>`.

```sv
<!-- Widget.svelte -->
<div>
<slot name="header">No header was provided</slot>
<p>Some content between header and footer</p>
<slot name="footer"></slot>
</div>
<!-- App.svelte -->

### `<svelte:fragment>`

The `<svelte:fragment>` element allows you to place content in a [named slot](docs#slot_name) without wrapping it in a container DOM element. This keeps the flow layout of your document intact.

title: <svelte:fragment>
---

The `<svelte:fragment>` element allows you to place content in a named slot without wrapping it in a container DOM element. This keeps the flow layout of your document intact.

In the example notice how we applied a flex layout with a gap of `1em` to the box.

```sv
<!-- Box.svelte -->
<style>
.box {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
gap: 1em;
}
</style>
<div class="box">
<slot name="header">No header was provided</slot>
<p>Some content between header and footer</p>
<slot name="footer"></slot>
</div>
```

However, the content in the footer is not spaced out according to this rhythm because wrapping it in a div created a new flow layout.

We can solve this by changing `<div slot="footer">` in the `App` component. Replace the `<div>` with `<svelte:fragment>`:

```sv
<svelte:fragment slot="footer">
<p>All rights reserved.</p>
<p>Copyright (c) 2019 Svelte Industries</p>
</svelte:fragment>
```
