Template:Ifequal/doc


 * Note page has hidden operative code when viewed directly.


 * This template is used to extend the parser function '#ifeq:'  to multiple tests.


 * The returned string is defined TRUE if any test pair of input parameters satisfies as if presented in any single #ifeq: test'''.


 * The returned value is essentially TRUE OR FALSE&mdash; garbage characters OR a null (computer) string, respectively. Thus it is suitable for testing by a simple #if:-then-else conditional on the calling page.


 * Applications are generally to display selective text for a set of pages, as in for example, a common usage page for templates, selected by specific page name cases.


 * This template takes upto eight pairs of arguments (i.e 16 numbered parameters), tests the odd verus the even, and returns true if any pair matches using the parser function '#ifeq:'. 


 * This can be used to test for criteria which may be satisfied by some combination of mulitple magic words, such as or.
