Conditionals Errors

If you get an error related to conditionals, first double check that your syntax is correct by rereading the conditionals syntax article.

Next, if you're doing any conditionals like <IF {LINKTEXT}> on a field that can contain freeform text, try changing to the BOOL version of the template variable: {LINKTEXTBOOL} instead of {LINKTEXT}. The BOOL version will return true or false which eliminates the chance of unexpected characters messing up the conditional.

Make sure you have the same number of opening <IFs and closing </IF>s. Make sure that if you open an <IF within a toplist or other repeated area that you close it within that same area.
