 If you decide to add new components into the DOM after the initial `mdc.autoInit()`, you can make subsequent calls to `mdc.autoInit()`. This will not reinitialize existing components. This works since mdc-auto-init will add the `data-mdc-auto-init-state="initialized"` attribute, which tracks if the component has already been initialized. After calling `mdc.autoInit()` your component will then look like:
 
 ```html
-<div class="mdc-text-field" data-mdc-auto-init="MDCTextField" data-mdc-auto-init-state="initialized">
+<label class="mdc-text-field" data-mdc-auto-init="MDCTextField" data-mdc-auto-init-state="initialized">
