Please someone clarify or break this down for me. The Webdna Syntax tutorial video part 3 of 4 talks about a hideif context that hides content based on a variable being blank or raw. The code is as follows: [hideif ||[raw][t_username][/raw]|^|[t_username]|] Basically saying if [t_username] is not initialized we're going to hide everything. I understand that it basically amounts to comparing |[t_username]| that contains |[t_username]| but I cannot figure out why the extra pipe character is on the left. I've also seen it this way: [hideif |[raw][t_username][/raw]||^|[t_username]|] Do they both function exactly the same? Are they all pipe delimiters or does one refer to an OR? I would like to modify the code to contain an OR in the same hideif to also compare [t_username]^Exactly this text I'm stuck on how to do this due to my confusion with the syntax. Thanks in advance!

The Webdna Syntax tutorial video part 3 of 4 talks about a hideif context t= hat hides content based on a variable being blank or raw.

The code is as follows:

[hideif ||[raw][t_username][/raw]|^|[t_username]|]

Basically saying if [t_username] is not initialized we're going to hide eve= rything.
I understand that it basically amounts to comparing |[t_username]| that con= tains |[t_username]| but I cannot figure out why the extra pipe character is= on the left. I've also seen it this way:

[hideif |[raw][t_username][/raw]||^|[t_username]|]

Do they both function exactly the same? Are they all pipe delimiters or doe= s one refer to an OR?

I would like to modify the code to contain an OR in the same hideif to also= compare [t_username]^Exactly this text

I'm stuck on how to do this due to my confusion with the syntax.

Thanks in advance!
