[v2] Option for Infinite Scroll to Automatically Get List HTML From Pages

I think it would be awesome for there to be a DRYer way to use infinite scroll. Currently, you have to transfer over your infinite scroll html to a javascript template string, which makes the code pretty WET if you use this frequently.

I'm not entirely sure how it would work, but I was thinking of having some sort of way to specify which list (id or class) needs to be scrolled infinitely when the page initializes. It would then cache the Template7 string with that id and convert it to a javascript template automatically. Might not be the best approach, but just a thought of how it might work.

Regardless, I think this would be great to have something like this to your code DRYer.

Start by locating the existing infinite-scroll implementation and the code that currently consumes Template7 strings; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Clarify the intended initialization API, how a list id or class identifies the source HTML, and what caching and automatic conversion should mean. Done should include a documented, tested way to initialize infinite scroll without duplicating the list markup in a JavaScript template string.
