<div><br></div><div>It is worth noting though that PmWiki does not do a lot of recursive descent parsing of expressions, hence the need to 'name' DIVs when nesting them.</div><div><br></div><div>It looks to me like the ELSE is being associated (incorrectly) with the first IF rather than the second one as your examples and tests show.</div>

After 4 hours debugging I discovered what I think is a bug if the<br>
conditional logic. Or perhaps nested conditions work differently to how<br>
I'd expect -- if so, how do I accomplish .<br>
<br>
(this was tested on <a href="http://pmwiki.org" target="_blank">pmwiki.org</a>)<br>
<br>
This markup:<br>
(:if equal 1 2:)111(:if equal 2 3:)222(:else:)333(:if:)444(:if:)<br>
<br>
produces: 333444<br>
expected: no output<br>
odd: 444 is shown, but 111 is not<br>
<br>
This case:<br>
(:if equal 1 2:)111(:if equal 2<br>
3:)222(:else:)333(:if:)444(:else:)555(:if:)<br>
<br>
produces: 333444(:else:)555<br>
expected: 555<br>
odd: 444 is shown, but 111 is not<br>
<br>
Which seems to indicate nested else conditional markup is simply<br>
ignored, or that the 444 is throwing things off. However this also<br>
doesn't work:<br>
(:if equal 1 2:)111(:if equal 2<br>
3:)222(:else:)333(:endif:)(:else:)555(:endif:)<br>
<br>
produces: 333(:endif:)<br>
expected: 555<br>
