[opencms-dev] Check if a body is used in a page

[Ronald Lips]

Hi

Using OpenCms 6.0 alpha I have created a default body:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pages xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.opencms.org/dtd/6.0/xmlpage.xs
d">
  <page language="en">
    <element name="acontent-item">
      <links/>
      <content/>
    </element>
    <element name="pre-menu-text">
      <links/>
      <content/>
    </element>
    <element name="post-menu-text">
      <links/>
      <content/>
    </element>
    <element name="back-link1">
      <links/>
      <content/>
    </element>
    <element name="back-link2">
      <links/>
      <content/>
    </element>
    <element name="footer">
      <links/>
      <content/>
    </element>
  </page>
</pages>

In my template I then have the following:

<cms:template element="back-link2">
	<p><cms:include element="back-link2"></p>
</cms:template>

What I want to achieve is that the <p>-tags are only in my page when the
back-link2 element is actually used. However, even when I do not fill
the back-link2 element in the page based on this template, I always get
the <p>-tags. My assumption is that the <cms:template
element="back-link2"> is some kind of test to see if the element is
actually used in the page based on the template. However, this does not
seem to be the case. Is there some way of checking if an element is
actually used in the page?

Hope you can help, 

Regards
Ronald
