Skip rendering elements

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello Adam,

another question what I have: it is possible to skip elements? My use case:

I have some functionality to check if there a permission to call controller. 
But in menu I will skip tag, for example:

.ul().id("menu")
    .li().havePerm("isAnonym").a().reverse(LOGIN).tr("Login").end(2)
...

If the user does not have permission, I don't will show Login-Link. Of course, 
I can do this with if-statement, but then is not fluent :)

Best regards,

Anton

Interesting.

I could certainly add something to perhaps to toggle muting the output .

Perhaps builder.write(boolean b) ? The question is when is it legal to mute or 
what happens exactly.

However I could see this as potentially confusing and bug prone.

I'm partly waiting for Java 8 (I know its a long time away) to add better 
conditional support through closures to enable more fluent style.

Let me think about it some more and feel free to add possible implementation 
ideas.
