+
+When rendering the "auctions" page:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with .Site.GetPage "/" }}
+  {{ $.IsAncestor . }} → false
+{{ end }}
+
+{{ with .Site.GetPage "/auctions" }}
+  {{ $.IsAncestor . }} → false
+{{ end }}
+
+{{ with .Site.GetPage "/auctions/2023-11" }}
+  {{ $.IsAncestor . }} → true
+{{ end }}
+
+{{ with .Site.GetPage "/auctions/2023-11/auction-2" }}
+  {{ $.IsAncestor . }} → true
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+In the examples above we are coding defensively using the [`with`] statement, returning nothing if the page does not exist. By adding an [`else`] clause we can do some error reporting:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $path := "/auctions/2023-11" }}
+{{ with .Site.GetPage $path }}
+  {{ $.IsAncestor . }} → true
+{{ else }}
+  {{ errorf "Unable to find the section with path %s" $path }}
+{{ end }}
+  ```
+
+## Understanding context
+
+Inside of the `with` block, the [context] (the dot) is the section `Page` object, not the `Page` object passed into the template. If we were to use this syntax:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with .Site.GetPage "/auctions" }}
+  {{ .IsAncestor . }} → true
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+The result would be wrong when rendering the "auction-1" page because we are comparing the section page to itself.
+
+{{% note %}}
+Use the `$` to get the context passed into the template.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with .Site.GetPage "/auctions" }}
+  {{ $.IsAncestor . }} → true
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+{{% note %}}
+Gaining a thorough understanding of context is critical for anyone writing template code.
