Description

It would be nice to be able to make a section optional.

If a template does not define the "food" section, then the default food will be shown if optional is set:
<f:render section="food" optional="true">
<p>Default food: potato chips</p>
</f:render>

If a default value is not set, then it will render nothing:
<f:render section="food" optional="true" />

If optional="true" is not set, then an exception will be thrown. This is the normal behavior so nothing should change for anyone unless they add the optional parameter.

Wouldn't it be better if there were the possibility to check that the section's content is not empty?

<f:if condition="{section.sidebar}">
  <f:then>
    <f:render section="sidebar" />
  </f:then>
  <f:else>
    <p>I'm sorry, nothing here!</p>
  </f:else>
