<if>
This conditional statement follows the well-known if-elseif-else control pattern to processes specific children statements based on one or more conditions. Both <elseif> and <else> are optional.
You can use most EMML statements within <if>, <elseif> or <else>. You can also use <break> within these statements if they are descendants of a looping statement to forceably stop the ancestor loop processing.
You define the conditions that must be matched for each section of this statement to be processed as XPath 2.0 expressions. For examples, see <if> Basics, Adding <elseif> or <else> or Breaking. See also Working Samples for information on sample mashups that use this statement.
