The {{#is}} helper is a block helper designed to check if a specific context is loaded.

The argument can be a comma-separated list of context names:

-   **index** - homepage,
-   **homepage** - new context for the homepage, applied when:
    -   the **posts** are displayed on the homepage (the existing **index** context).
    -   the **page** is configured as a homepage (this is the key difference from **index**; normally, if a page is set as the homepage, it uses the page context, but with this new **homepage** context, the homepage can now have a dedicated context).
    -   The posts appear despite a post prefix (e.g., `/blog/`) being set, but no **page as the homepage** is explicitly assigned.
-   **blogindex** - custom post listing page when a post prefix (e.g., `/blog/`) is set in Publii; used to display posts within a specific directory,
-   **tag** - tag listing page,
-   **tags** - tags listing,
-   **post** - single post page,
-   **page** - single page,
-   **author** - author listing page,
-   **404** - 404 error page,
-   **search** - search results page,
-   **pagination** - pagination page (tag or homepage) beginning from the second page,
-   **index-pagination** - pagination homepage page beginning from second page,
-   **tag-pagination** - pagination tag page beginning from the second page.
-   **author-pagination** - pagination author page beginning from the second page.
