Re: [if file [value ...]]

Fixed this myself :)

Why should I use such a [if]-construct if just inserting 
  [include file="/some/dirs/[value mv_searchspec].html"]
does all I want. If the file does not exist simply nothing is inserted.
This should be mentioned in the docs ;).

But I still have a problem if I want to insert one file if it exists or
another if the first does not. How would I do this using [value
mv_searchspec] in an [if][else]?

Have I told you already that I dream of square brackets at night by now?
