[WM] Conditional webmake

Fri Mar 5 05:27:55 GMT 2004

Hello.  I am trying to do a particular thing in webmake, but have been
unable to.  Any help would be appreciated.

I have several <content> pages which describe the bulk of the
information on a page.  I also have a generic <content> template that
defines all the HTML header/footer goodness.  Now, I want to write
pieces of code in the template that only exist if the <content> page
being output has a metadata element.  Here is an example with some fake
pseudo tags, if I'm not being clear:

<content name="exit.txt">
<wmmeta name="title">Leave!</wmmeta>
goodbye
</content>

<content name="index.txt">
<wmmeta name="title">Welcome!</wmmeta>
<wmmeta name="header_image_file">site.png</wmmeta>
hello
</content>

<content name="page_template">
<html><head><title>$[this.title]</title></head><body>

<!-- here's what i wished I could do -->
<if var=$[this.title] value="<img src=\"$[this.title]\">">

${${WebMake.OutName}.txt}
</body></html>
</content>

So, in the above example, index.txt would have the img, but exit.txt
would not.  How would I formulate something that would do what my fake
<if> tag does?  Or am I just going about this the wrong way?  Thanks in
advance.
