Conditional blocks in XSSI look as follows:
<!-- #if expr="test_expr_1" -->
Content to process if test_expr_1 is true
<!-- #elif expr="test_expr_2" -->
Content to process if test_expr_2 is true
.
.
<!-- #elif expr="test_expr_n" -->
Content to process if test_expr_n is true
<!-- #else -->
Content to process if all the above tests are false
<!-- #endif -->
#elif sections are optional. A conditional block can have zero or many of them. The #else is optional and a conditional block can have either no #else or exactly one.
Conditional blocks can be nested.
The value of the expr attribute inside #if and #elif directives is considered as an expression which evaluates to true or false according to these rules:
Evaluates to true if string is not empty.
Performs a lexicographic comparison between string_1 and string_2.
Performs a lexicographic comparison between string_1 and string_2. If string_2 has the form /regex/, a regular expression matching operation will take place instead. Matched sub-strings are captured inside the variables $0, $1, ..., $9. For more information about backreferences, refer to the "Regular Expressions" appendix.
Evaluates to true if both test_expr_1 and test_expr_2 expressions are true.
Evaluates to true if at least one of the expressions test_expr_1 and test_expr_2 is true.
Evaluates to true if test_expr is false.
Evaluates to true if test_expr is true. Parentheses are used to enclose sub-expressions and supersede the priorities of their operators.
! has higher priority than && and || which at their turn have higher priority than =, !=, ==, <=, >=, <, and >.
