/**
 * Defines a template for displaying custom content inside the current user's messages in the Chat.
 *
 * To define a message template, nest an `<ng-template>` tag with the `kendoChatAuthorMessageContentTemplate` directive inside the `<kendo-chat>` component.
 * The template context is set to the `message` instance.
 * For more information, refer to the article on [message templates](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/conversational-ui/chat/message-templates).
 *
 * @example
 * ```html
 * <kendo-chat>
 *   <ng-template kendoChatAuthorMessageContentTemplate let-message>
 *     <div>Message: {{ message.text }}</div>
 *   </ng-template>
 * </kendo-chat>
