Visually, this is the general structure in which it is used:

<txp:if_conditional_tag>
    …Content if true…
<txp:else />
    …Content if not true…
</txp:if_conditional_tag>

Attributes

This tag has no attributes of its own. It accepts only the global attributes .

Example 1: Display excerpt when available

<txp:if_excerpt>
    <txp:excerpt />
<txp:else />
    <txp:section link="1" />
</txp:if_excerpt>

When the excerpt is available it is displayed, but when it is missing a hyperlinked section name is displayed instead.
