The #if, #elseif and #else directives

The #if directive makes it possible to conditionally render a piece of text or execute a directive when a condition evaluates to true.

Template example
Template	Output
#set($bool = true) #if( $bool ) <p>hello world</p> #end	<p>hello world</p>

An #elseif or #else element can be used with an #if element. Note that Template Engine will stop at the first expression that is found to be true.

Template example
Template	Output
#set($value = 10) #if( $value < 10 ) Value is less than 10 #elseif( $value == 10 ) Value is 10 #elseif( $value > 10 ) Value is greater than 10 #else Value could not be determined #end	Value is 10
