/**
 * 
 * A repeater view that renders all of its children, using its body markup, in the order they were
 * added.
 * 
 * 
 * Example:
 * 
 * Java:
 * 
 * 
 * RepeatingView view = new RepeatingView("repeater");
 * view.add(new Label(view.newChildId(), "hello"));
 * view.add(new Label(view.newChildId(), "goodbye"));
 * view.add(new Label(view.newChildId(), "good morning"));
 * add(view);
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Markup:
 * 
 * 
 *  <ul><li wicket:id="repeater"></li></ul>
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Yields:
 * 
 * 
 *  <ul><li>hello</li><li>goodbye</li><li>good morning</li></ul>
 * 
 * 
 * To expand a bit: the repeater itself produces no markup, instead every direct child inherits the
 * entire markup of the repeater. In the example above repeaters's markup is:
 * 
 *  *  <li wicket:id="repeater"></li>
 * 
 * 
 * and so this is the markup that is available to the direct children - the Label components. So as
 * each label renders it produces a line of the output that has the litag.
