texte = Howard, this is from the online docs:Tip: make sure neither side of the comparison equation contains any of the special comparison letters listed above. For example, [ShowIf I'm Friendly! Are you?=[question]] contains an exclamation point inside the sentence being compared, so WebCatalog sees this as I'm Friendly is not equal to Are you?=[question], which is not what the author meant to compare.The solution is to wrap each side of the comparison with [URL] contexts, like this: [ShowIf [URL]I'm Friendly! Are you?[/URL]=[URL][question][/URL]]. This causes any embedded !=>< symbols to be converted to their URL equivalents, which can then be compared correctly.
