How to use the <slot> element twice?

I'm using Svelte, and I want to create a component that will allow me to do something like this:

<CodeDisplay>
    <button class="btn">Button</button>
</CodeDisplay>

CodeDisplay.html should look something like this:

<slot></slot>
<code><slot></slot></code>

Essentially, what I want is a component that will first render the HTML code that I place within the component, and then I want to display the code itself. (I'm building a documentation system.)

Seems to be like you can't use <slot></slot> more than once which makes sense.

How would I accomplish what I'm trying here. I really want to avoid duplicating the HTML code twice in my code for every example in the documentation. I just thought it would be nice to have a component that in general, I can pass some HTML, and then the component will render the HTML and show the code.

EDIT: I just realized I could do something like this:

{{{html}}}
<pre><code>{{html}}</code></pre>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        html: '',
      }
    }
  };
</script>

And display it like this:

<CodeDisplay html='<button class="btn">Button</button>'/>

But I'm getting some errors with this (that happen inconsistently).

Have you seen named <slot>s?

<slot name="slot-one"></slot> // Show rendered HTML
<slot name="slot-two"></slot> // Show HTML as string

When you create your HTML-snippet example with backticks, you can render it in slot-one and display it as a (nicely formatted multi-line) example in slot-two:

let mySnippet = `<div>
                    <div>
                        <span>Hello</span>
                    </div>
                </div`;

I'm not a SvelteJS expert, but you you can test/check here with this example.
