SPML -- Include file Format

Basic Elements

The document is parsed as an HTML document, with special commands embedded as SGML comments. A command has the syntax: +
<!--#element attribute=value attribute=value ... -->
+ The value will often be enclosed in double quotes; many commands only allow a single attribute-value pair.

The allowed elements are:

Flow Control Elements

+ +These are available in Apache 1.2 and above. The basic flow control +elements are: + +
+    <!--#if expr="test_condition" -->
+    <!--#elif expr="test_condition" -->
+    <!--#else -->
+    <!--#endif -->
+
+ +

The if element works like an + if statement in a programming language. The test condition + is evaluated and if the result is true, then the text until + the next elif, else. + or endif element is included in the + output stream. + +

The elif or else + statements are be used the put text into the output stream + if the original test_condition was false. These elements + are optional. + +

The endif element ends the + if element and is required. + +

test_condition is one of the following: + +

+ +
string
true if string is not empty + +
string1 = string2
+ string1 != string2 + +
Compare string1 with string 2. If string2 has the form /string/ + than it is compared as a regular expression. + Regular expressions have the same syntax as those found in the + Unix egrep command. + +
( test_condition )
true if test_condition is true +
! test_condition
true if test_condition is false + test_condition1 and test_condition2 are true +
test_condition1 && test_condition2
true if both + test_condition1 and test_condition2 are true +
test_condition1 || test_condition2
true if either + test_condition1 or test_condition2 is true +
+ +

"=" and "!=" bind more tightly than "&&" and "||". + "!" binds most tightly. Thus, the following are equivalent: + +

+    <!--#if expr="$a = test1 && $b = test2" -->
+    <!--#if expr="($a = test1) && ($b = test2)" -->
+
+ +

Anything that's not recognized as a variable or an operator is + treated as a string. Strings can also be quoted: 'string'. + Unquoted strings can't contain whitespace (blanks and tabs) + because it is used to seperate tokens such as variables. If + multiple strings are found in a row, they are concatenated using + blanks. So, + +

+     string1    string2  results in string1 string2
+    'string1    string2' results in string1    string2
+
+ +

Variable substitution is done within quoted strings. You can put + a dollar sign into the string using backslash quoting: + +

+    <!--#if expr="$a = \$test" -->
