/**
 * A hook used to render text lines as a virtual list,
 * so that only the visible lines are actually in the DOM.
 *
 * Configuration:
 *
 *   * `data-max-height` - the maximum height of the element, exceeding this height enables scrolling
 *
 * The element should have two children:
 *
 *   * one annotated with `data-template` attribute, it should be hidden
 *     and contain all the line elements as its children
 *
 *   * one annotated with `data-content` where the visible elements are rendered,
 *     it should contain any styling relevant for the container
