ATTRIBUTES

• NAME

  This is the name of the parameter to be testing. It is resolved like any other parameter.

• VALUE

  If VALUE is set, then a comparison operation is done. The value of NAME is compared to VALUE using the value of OP.

• OP

  If VALUE is set, then this is checked. If it isn't present, then '==' (numeric equality) is assumed. OP must be one of the numeric comparison operators or the string comparison operators. All 6 of each kind is supported.

• IS

  If VALUE is not set, then IS is checked. IS is allowed to be either "TRUE" or "FALSE". The boolean value of NAME is checked against IS.

USAGE

<if name="__ODD__" is="false">
  ... Children here
</if>

In the above example, the children will be executed if the value of __ODD__ (which is set by the LOOP node) is false. So, for all even iterations.
