How to use `replace` of directive definition?

Question

In this document: http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive , it says that there is a replace configuration for directives:

templ

Answer 1

As the documentation states, 'replace' determines whether the current element is replaced by the directive. The other option is whether it is just added to as a child basically. If you look at the source of your plnkr, notice that for the second directive where replace is false that the div tag is still there. For the first directive it is not.

First result:

directive template1

Second result:

directive template2
