 To enable your custom components to be checked as DOM elements, you can set global settings in your configuration file by mapping each custom component name to a DOM element type.
 
+#### Attribute Mapping
+
+To configure the JSX property to use for attribute checking, you can set global settings in your configuration file by mapping each DOM attribute to the JSX property you want to check. For example, you may want to allow the `for` attribute in addition to the `htmlFor` attribute for checking label associations.
+
 #### Polymorphic Components
 
 You can optionally use the `polymorphicPropName` setting to define the prop your code uses to create polymorphic components.

+`htmlForAttributes`: is an array of strings that specify the attribute to check for an associated control. Default is `["htmlFor"]`.
 `labelComponents` is a list of custom React Component names that should be checked for an associated control.
 `labelAttributes` is a list of attributes to check on the label component and its children for a label. Use this if you have a custom component that uses a string passed on a prop to render an HTML `label`, for example.
 `controlComponents` is a list of custom React Components names that will output an input element. [Glob format](https://linuxhint.com/bash_globbing_tutorial/) is also supported for specifying names (e.g., `Label*` matches `LabelComponent` but not `CustomLabel`, `????Label` matches `LinkLabel` but not `CustomLabel`).

+The `htmlForAttributes` allows you to specify which prop to check for. This is useful when you want to use a different property instead of `htmlFor`, for example `for`.
+
 For the `components` option, these strings determine which JSX elements (**always including** `<label>`) should be checked for having `htmlFor` prop. This is a good use case when you have a wrapper component that simply renders a `label` element (like in React):
