Re: Trouble with [fileinfo] - update: TIP OF THE DAY

texte = TIP OF THE DAY: Set your true/false text variable to "1=1" for true or "1=0" for false. Then you can use it in your if, showif, or hideif context as a singular true/false value. [text]isImage=1=1[/text] [if [isImage]][then] YES [/then][else] NO [/else][/if] The "isImage" variable will be replaced with "1=1" which the IF statement will evaluate to TRUE, resulting in the execution of the THEN clause. If "isImage" was set to "1=0", then the IF would evaluate FALSE and the ELSE clause would be executed. - brian On Jun 28, 2004, at 2:49 PM, Patrick McCormick wrote: > Yeah I know, but it seems like an opportunity was missed for more > graceful syntax. > > [showif xxx] should look at whatever xxx is.
