&lt;if&gt; is defined in the Main RXML parser module.
<p>
<tt>&lt;if&gt;</tt> is used to conditionally show its 
contents. <tt>&lt;else&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;elif&gt;</tt> or <tt>&lt;elseif&gt;</tt> can be
used to suggest alternative content.

<p>It is possible to use glob patterns in almost all attributes, where
* means match zero or more characters while ? matches one
character. Thus <tt>m*f??</tt> will match <tt>motherfoo</tt> as well
as <tt>mfoo</tt>.

<b><font color=#113377 size=+2 >Attributes</font></b>



<dl>

<p><dt><tt><b><a name="accept">accept</a></b></tt>=<i>type1[,type2,...]</i>
<dd>
Does the browser accept certain content types, for example
<i>image/jpeg</i> or <i>text/html</i>? 




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="config">config</a></b></tt>=<i>name</i>
<dd>
Has the config been set by use of the <tt>&lt;aconf&gt;</tt> tag?




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="cookie">cookie</a></b></tt>=<i>name[ is value]</i>
<dd>
Does the cookie exist and if <i>value</i> is given, does it contain
the value <i>value</i>?




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="date">date</a></b></tt>=<i>yyyymmdd</i>
<dd>
Is the date yyyymmdd? The attributes <tt>before</tt>, <tt>after</tt>
and <tt>inclusive</tt> modifies the behavior. 




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="defined">defined</a></b></tt>=<i>define</i>
<dd>
Is the define defined?




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="domain">domain</a></b></tt>=<i>pattern[,pattern...]</i>
<dd>
Does the users computer's DNS name match any of the patterns? Note that
domain names are resolved asynchronously, and the the first time
someone accesses a page, the domain name will probably not have been
resolved. 




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="host">host</a></b></tt>=<i>pattern[,pattern...]</i>
<dd>
Does the users computers IP address match any of the patterns?




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="language">language</a></b></tt>=<i>language1[,lang2,...]</i>
<dd>
Does the client prefer one of the languages listed, as specified
by the <tt>Accept-Language</tt> header?




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="match">match</a></b></tt>=<i>string[ is pattern[,pattern,...]]</i>
<dd>
Does the string match one of the patterns?




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="name">name</a></b></tt>=<i>pattern[,pattern...]</i>
<dd>
Does the full name of the browser match any of the patterns?





<p><dt><tt><b><a name="prestate">prestate</a></b></tt>=<i>option1[,option2, ...]</i>
<dd>
Are all of the specified prestate options present in the URL?




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="referrer">referrer</a></b></tt>=<i>[=pattern[,pattern,...]]</i>
<dd>
Does the referrer header match any of the patterns?




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="supports">supports</a></b></tt>=<i>feature</i>
<dd>
Does the browser support this feature? See the <a
href=../supports/classes.html>support feature page</a> page for a list
of all available features.




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="user">user</a></b></tt>=<i>name[,name,...]|any</i>
<dd>
Has the user been authentificated as one of these users? If <i>any</i> is
given as argument, any authentificated user will do.




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="variable">variable</a></b></tt>=<i>name[ is pattern]</i>
<dd>
Does the variable exist and, optionally, does it's content match the
pattern?
</dl>

<p><b>Modifier Attributes</b></p>
<dl>





<p><dt><tt><b><a name="after">after</a></b></tt>

<dd>
Used together with the <tt>date</tt> attribute.



<p><dt><tt><b><a name="and">and</a></b></tt>

<dd>
If several conditional attributes are given all must be true for the
contents to be shown. This is the default behavior.



<p><dt><tt><b><a name="before">before</a></b></tt>

<dd>
Used together with the <tt>date</tt> attribute.



<p><dt><tt><b><a name="file">file</a></b></tt>=<i>path</i>
<dd>
Used together with the <tt>user</tt> attribute. An external file
will be used to authenticate the user, rather than the current
<i>Authentication</i> module. The file should have the following
format:

<p><pre>
user name : encrypted password
user name : encrypted password
</pre>

<p>Unless the <tt>wwwfile</tt> attribute is given the path is a path
in the computers real file system, rather than Challenger's virtual
file system.




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="group">group</a></b></tt>=<i>group, groupfile path</i>
<dd>
Used together with the <tt>user</tt> attribute to check if the
current user is a member of the group according the the groupfile.
The groupfile is of the following format:

<p><pre>
group : user1, user2, user3
group : user4
</pre>




<p><dt><tt><b><a name="inclusive">inclusive</a></b></tt>

<dd>
Used together with the <tt>date</tt> and <tt>before</tt> or
<tt>after</tt> attributes. The contents will also be shown if the date is
the current date.



<p><dt><tt><b><a name="wwwfile">wwwfile</a></b></tt>

<dd>
Used together with the <tt>file</tt> attribute to indicate what
Challenger's virtual file system should be used to find the password file.
This might be a security hazard, since anyone will be able to read the
password file.



<p><dt><tt><b><a name="not">not</a></b></tt>

<dd>
Inverts the results of all tests. 



<p><dt><tt><b><a name="or">or</a></b></tt>

<dd>
If several conditional attributes are given, only one of them has to be
true for the contents to be shown.
</dl>


</dl>

<p>


<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="#Complex expressions"><define name=kludge2>Complex expressions</define><insert name=kludge2 " "=&nbsp;></a>


<icon type=warning>
<p>You might be tempted to write expressions like:

<p><doc><tt>{if variable="foo is bar" or variable="bar is foo"}Something{/if}</font></tt></doc>

<p>This will not work, as you can only use an attribute once.

<p>Another common problem is a misconception of how the
<tt>and</tt>, <tt>or</tt> and <tt>not</tt> attributes work.

<p><doc><tt>{if user=foo or not domain="*.foobar.com"}...{/if}</font></tt></doc>

<p>will not work since the <tt>not</tt> attribute negates the whole
tag, not just the <tt>domain</tt> attribute.
