 * Views get a chance to render things specially for printing (which is needed when they use
 * scrolly for normal rendering).
 *
 * To let an existing view print across multiple pages, we can't have it nested in a flexbox or a
 * div with 'height: 100%'. We achieve it by forcing all parents of our view to have a simple
 * layout. This is potentially fragile.
