Conditionals only work when in separate paragraphs.

[bandel65]

This works:

::: {.if myTest=test}
Using the syntax from test.md, this should appear because myTest is set to "test".
:::

It renders as:

Using the syntax from test.md, this should appear because myTest is set to “test”.

...but, this does not - it renders the block as plain text:

Here is some text and...
::: {.if myFlag=true}
This should appear because myFlag is set to true.
:::
Oh, and more text.

It renders as:

Here is some text and. . . ::: {.if myFlag=true} This should appear because myFlag is set to true. ::: Oh, and more text.

This greatly diminishes the utility of conditionals.

Conditionals are only implemented for blocks (i.e. separate paragraphs). I guess this could be done for Span inlines too. The syntax for pandoc should be something like this:

Here is some text and... [This should appear because myFlag is set to true.]{.if myFlag=true} Oh, and more text.

or

Here is some text and...
[This should appear because myFlag is set to true.]{.if myFlag=true}
Oh, and more text.

It’d be really useful. For example:

The test was run on {{date}} at {{site}}. The test [passed.]{.if testPassed=true} [failed.]{.if testPassed=false}

Sure, you could do that with blocks, but then you’re repeating the entire paragraph. And I’m really lazy. ;-)

Conditionals are only implemented for Div blocks (i.e. separate paragraphs). I guess this could be done for Span inlines too. The syntax for pandoc should be something like this:

Here is some text and... [This should appear because myFlag is set to true.]{.if myFlag=true} Oh, and more text.

[This should appear because myFlag is set to true.]{.if myFlag=true}

Oh, and more text.

Done.
