A few notes to Michael e-mail.

{If} expression is used in collect.cfg with "format" command.

expression is used in macro files (.dm)

expression1
Please note the quotes around macro also.

Where:
- expression1 will be render if a=q

- expression2 will be render if a is not = q

Expression1, expression2 should not contain ",)" characters
or they should escaped with "" character

Best regards,

Emanuel

Hi Doug,

You're on the right track. "d" will be set to the value of the "a"
cgi argument, so you can do

{If}{d, whatever}

or possibly even

{If}{d eq "q", whatever}

All the best,

Michael
