027 * Marks methods to be invoked when the component rendering state machine hits the point in the component's template
028 * where the body element occurs. Such methods may optionally take a {@link org.apache.tapestry5.MarkupWriter}
029 * parameter, and may return void or boolean.
030 * <p/>
031 * Returning true (or void) will queue up the component's body for rendering.
032 * <p/>
033 * Returning false will skip the component's body, but continue rendering the template. The {@link
034 * org.apache.tapestry5.annotations.AfterRenderBody} phase will still execute after the template finishes rendering.
035 * <p/>
036 * This phase is skipped for components which do not have a body.
