Complex expressions require 'expr' at the beginning, and each operator
(including !) needs spaces around it.  Also, I'm guessing that you're
wanting to do this on pages other than Main.HomePage and that don't
have "notoc" as the description.  If that's the case:

  (:if expr ! equal {$FullName} "Main.HomePage" && ! equal {$Description} "notoc" :)

Shorter:

  (:if expr ! name "Main.HomePage" && ! equal {$Description} "notoc" :)
