The example below demonstrates how to check if H1 element exists on page.

Source HTML code available on your original desktop site page:

<html>
 <body>
   <h1>Hello World!</h1>
 </body>
</html>

You need to add the following code to your template to check if the H1 element exists on your page, return it or tell that it is not available:

<!--{if Flamingo.XPath.test('//h1') }-->
    Page title is: <!--{= Flamingo.XPath.value('//h1') }-->
<!--{else}-->
    There is no page title.
<!--{/if}-->

The result for sample source HTML will look like:

Page title is: Hello World!
