Description
In a previous version of the React documentation, there was information about how props default to "true" if no value is passed (https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/jsx-in-depth.html#props-default-to-true).
However, this information is missing in the current documentation. This can be confusing for developers who are new to React and may not be aware of this behavior. Please add this information back to the documentation to ensure consistency and clarity.

Research direction
Start by reading the legacy JSX in Depth section at https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/jsx-in-depth.html#props-default-to-true, then search the current React documentation for the corresponding JSX props guidance. Done means the current documentation explains that a prop without an explicit value defaults to true and presents the behavior clearly for newcomers.
