how do I detect I am on a child category...?

How can I detect if I am on a category page which has a particular parent category?

this is what I am trying to achieve: <txp:if_category parent="some_parent_cat">show something<txp:else />show something else</txp:if_category>

I know that the parent attribute is not supported in the if_category tag but included it above as it clearly explains where I am lost. I am looking at smd_parent but I am wondering if it can be done using native tags.

Hi colak! Something like this?

<txp:category_list parent="some_parent_cat">
  <txp:if_category name='<txp:category />'>
    <txp:variable name="done" value="1" />
  </txp:if_category>
</txp:category_list>

<txp:if_variable name="done" value="1">
  show something
<txp:else />
  show something else
</txp:if_variable>
