Hi,  
I’m wondering if there’s a HubL filter for page publish state? Similar to the API filter state\_\_in=PUBLISHED. So someething like {% if content.state.published = true %}  
Thanks in advance.

@sanntn you could probably just use the HubL variable {{ content.publish\_date }} in an if statement. It will return a time object if it’s published but if it’s not should return false(y). E.g.:

```lia-code-sample
{% if content.publish_date %}
I'm published
{% else %}
I'm a draft
{% endif %}

```
