-A `<mat-slider>` can be converted into a range slider by projecting both a `matStartThumb` and a

+A `<mat-slider>` can be converted into a range slider by projecting both a `matSliderStartThumb` and a
+`matSliderEndThumb` into it. Each thumb has its own value, but both are still
+constrained by the slider's `min` and `max` values. The `matSliderStartThumb` cannot have a value
+greater than that of the `matSliderEndThumb` and the `matSliderEndThumb` cannot have a value less than
+that of the `matSliderStartThumb`, though they both may have the same value.
