Is it possible to define template html like so:

<ipe-container>
    <ipe-artboard></ipe-artboard>    
</ipe-container>

in some way?

Both components are known and declared in the module where this takes place. What I see happening now is that only the ipe-container is instantiated (available in the DOM) but the ipe-artboard is nowhere to be seen. When putting this ip-artboard component un-nested it renders in the browser (DOM).

Yes, it is possible.

In <ipe-container>, add <ng-content> in the component template. Here is an example:

<div>Some Content</div>
<ng-content></ng-content>

Now, anything added inside the <ipe-container> selector will be rendered inside the <ng-content>.

Thanx, works like a charm! Is this a good practice? This container is just some simple container that's placed in CSS grid layout and might be used multiple times to display different content. I want to direct the CSS layout properties from the parent component's SASS. It felt quitte natural to me to do it like this but couldn't get it to work.
Its not a bad practice at all. I am also using the same approach in a project.
