Block-shaped if Statement

Module : Core

Group : Control Structures

Syntax 1 :

<%if (condition) %>
diml-alternative₁
<%endif %>

Syntax 2 :

<%if (condition) %>
diml-alternative₁
<%else %>
diml-alternative₂
<%endif %>

Syntax 3 :

<%if (condition₁) %>
diml-alternative₁
<%elsif (condition₂) %>
diml-alternative₂
...
<%else %>
diml-alternative_n
<%endif %>

the block form of the conditional statement provides IF, IF...ELSE and IF...ELSIF...ELSE structures. Same syntactic rules than in the compact form apply.

Alternatives: ALternate values can be DIML sequences that can contain nested DIML statements, including other conditional forms. Nested conditioanl structures MUST be complete (i.e. assuming a template or variable runtime substitution will complete the conditional structure is not allowed).
