It would be great if this article mentioned, briefly, how this is done in binary. Nothing major, but I think a small discussion about operators and how the AND, NOT, and OR operators work to evaluate and If...Then statement. Sir Isaac Lime 16:36, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If statements in Wiki markup language.

This page should also include examples of IF statements in the Wiki markup language. Robert Elliott 07:09, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would be self reference, which would violate NPOV. If we did that, we'd have to include statements in all languages. A dab link could however be used to direct the reader to a page in the WP: namespace. Richard001 20:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ada elsif and the dangling-else problem

The article mentions else-if constructs without covering the dangling-else problem, even though C/C++ is shown in examples & the cross reference and it can occur in those languages. Also, in section Conditional_statement#Else_If_parts the assertion is made that elseif, in Ada, is simply syntactic sugar for else followed by if, which is incorrect. A brief description of the the dangling-else problem and how the Ada syntax avoids it can be found here. Does anyone object to adding material on dangling-else and correcting the assertion on Ada syntax? Tslavens 23:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
