True. Then let me try again: Implement %(if), %(then) and %(else) atoms. Used as %(if)...%(then)...%(end) or %(if)...%(then)...%(else)...%(end). If the format string between %(if) and %(then) expands to an empty string, or to only whitespaces, then the whole %(if)...%(end) expands to the string following %(then). Otherwise, it expands to the string following %(else), if any. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
