Nested if conditions broken if the surrounding condition is not met #5

Closed c-a-m-o closed 4 years ago

As the syntax for the custom if (currently \ifVal{val} ) uses a command that expands to an if statement, the LaTeX compiler is not able to recognize it inside the body of a conditional whose condition is false. Thus, the \fi of the nested ifVal will be considered as the closing if for the parent conditional, closing it too early and leaving an extra fi.

2 Ideas on how to fix it :

Create a custom \fi that would have the variable as a parameter, but this woud probably imply more nested ifs
Change the syntax of \ifVal to pass the body of the conditional in a second parameter. This would be similar to \ifthenelse in the ifthen package
