I don't know how often people have need for a nested conditional, but I've put together a recipe that supports it. You can find it here:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/NestedIf It uses markup in this form: (:n-if true:)it is true(:n-if false:)it is false(:n-else:)it is not false(:n-ifend:)(:n-else:)it is not true(:n-ifend:) Or, placed on multiple lines and formatted for easier reading: (:n-if true:) it is true (:n-if false:) it is false (:n-else:) it is not false (:n-ifend:) (:n-else:) it is not true (:n-ifend:) All conditions are identical to the existing (:if ...:) conditions - same code is used, so any extensions you've made should also work. This is probably obvious, but just to be sure... Note that (:n-if:) does NOT end the previous if-block as (:if:) does in normal pmwiki conditionals. The "n-" prefix to each of the if, else, ifend can actually be several different things: n (:nif ...:) n- (:n-if ...:) nest (:nestif ...:) nest- (:nest-if ...:) nested (:nestedif ...:) nested- (:nested-if ...:) (I've illustrated each with the if, but the same prefixes can be affixed to the "else" or the "ifend".) Hope this helps. -Peter PS I don't think much of the way this looks in terms of being understandable and intuitive. (That's why I've offered so many alternatives - in hopes of finding one that looks right.) If somebody has a better idea on the markup I'd be all ears... The recipe could actually over-ride the existing (:if ...:) markup, but then most existing conditionals would have to be altered and existing sites would be unable to use it. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
