This tag and its partner, IfIsDescendant, should be listed under Category in the template tag reference as well. The nomenclature is inconsistent with the Sub- and ParentCategory names. Because of that, it took me a long time to find this tag and came upon it finally by accident. Please add the pair under Category on this page so others can find it.
