Add custom views recipe

Recipe documentation about creating custom views with advance content

Wow, really nice and comprehensive overview of creating views!

There's some overlap with the "Learn Sprotty" page about views – is that a problem?

As @spoenemann mentioned there are some overlapping contents. Some seem to be even more detailed on the "learn" page (e.g. about css). I would somehow merge those, give an quick overview on the learn page and the comprehensive insight on the recipe page.

@jbicker @spoenemann I think some overlap is acceptable here.

The goal of the learn section is to guide the user from an empty project to the end result that is given when using the yeoman generator. For this we need to use custom views and CSS styling.

Here it is more about documenting the different approaches to creating custom nodes.

Ideally a beginner user would go through the learn section while a more experienced user could use the recipe for a reminder on how to deal with custom views

Ok
