+### {#key ...}

+```sv
+{#key expression}...{/key}
+```
+
+Key blocks destroy and recreate their contents when the value of an expression changes.
+
+---
+
+This is useful if you want an element to play its transition whenever a value changes.
+
+```sv
+{#key value}
+	<div transition:fade>{value}</div>
+{/key}

+When used around components, this will cause them to be reinstantiated and reinitialised.
