If Else

If else blocks are used for conditional rendering of simple values based on current variables.

Syntax

Syntax of if else blocks is almost identical to other conditional blocks.

• [#if (<condition>)] <content> [/if] - basic if block structure
• (@variable == 2) - condition which must be fulfilled in order for the content to be rendered

::: @fear is 3 [#if (@fear == 3)] Your instinct forces you to hide under the table. [/if] ::: blocks can be placed on separate lines for better readability [#if (@fear <= 2)] Skin on your arms stars to tingle. [/if]

Your instinct forces you to hide under the table.

Caution

Content inside of if else blocks can span only a single line. If you need to render more content conditionally see block if

Content

If else blocks support nested markdown and interpolation.

::: @favorite_food is "onigiri", @sanity is -10 [#if (@sanity < -5)] There! **Right _there!_** A plate full of {{ @favorite_food }}s! [/if]

There! Right there! A plate full of onigiris!

[#else] and [#else-if]

To avoid some repetition you can use [#else] and [#else-if] blocks.

::: @courage is 2 [#if (@courage >= 5)] You take a big swig from the bottle. [#else-if (@courage >= 2)] You sniff the contents and then decide to drink from the bottle. [#else] You politely decline the offer. [/if]

You sniff the contents and then decide to drink from the bottle.

Caution

Currently you cannot use more than one [#else-if] block.
