NAME

Solution::Tag::If - Basic If/Elsif/Else Construct

Description

If I need to describe if/else to you... Oy. if executes the statement once if and only if the condition is true. If the condition is false, the first elseif condition is evaluated. If that is also false it continues in the same pattern until we find a true condition or a fallback else tag.

Compound Inequalities

Solution supports compund inequalities. Try these...

    {% if some.value == 3 and some.string contains 'find me' %}
        Wow! It's a match...
    {% elseif some.value == 4 or 3 < some.value %}
        Wow! It's a... different... match...
    {% endif %}

Bugs

Liquid's (and by extension Solution's) treatment of compound inequalities is broken. For example...

    {% if 'This and that' contains 'that' and 1 == 3 %}

...would be parsed as if it were...

    if ( "'This" && ( "that'" =~ m[and] ) ) { ...

...but it should look like...

    if ( ( 'This and that' =~ m[that]) && ( 1 == 3 ) ) { ...

It's just... not pretty but I'll work on it. The actual problem is in Solution::Block if you feel like lending a hand. Wink, wink.
