htmlbool
Format:
htmlbool ( value ) |
Purpose:
Checks whether value, if interpreted as a HTML Boolean argument, is true.
Return Values:
A HTML Boolean is false if:
- it is the Boolean false
- it is the null value
If one of these conditions is fulfilled, the htmlbool() returns false, otherwise true.
Example:
input: | resulting output:
|
<? htmlbool(true)> | true |
<? htmlbool(false)> | false |
<? htmlbool("true")> | true |
<? htmlbool("false")> | true |
<? htmlbool("Gwendolyn")> | true |
<? htmlbool(" ")> | false |
<? htmlbool("")> | false |
<? htmlbool(null)> | false |
<? htmlbool(emptytuple)> | false |
<? htmlbool(5)> | true |
<? htmlbool(3.1415)> | true |
Tip: The htmlbool() function should prove useful when you
need to redefine a HTML tag with optional arguments of Boolean type.
Example:
input: | resulting output:
| <def gnarl verbose=null;
if htmlbool(verbose)
>We're gnarling now
</if;
? "gnarl!";
/def>
<gnarl>
<gnarl verbose> |
gnarl!
We're gnarling now
gnarl! |
