        // element in order have them rendered on the desired HTML element (e.g., on
        // the <a> element of a field item being rendered as a link). Other field
        // formatters leave them within $element['#items'][$delta]['_attributes'] to
        // be rendered on the item wrappers provided by field.html.twig.
