[Zope] dtml-if

[Kyle Burnett]

how about in this case:

<dtml-if "this_page_start != page_start">
<P>this_page_start (<dtml-var this_page_start>) is not equal to page_start
(<dtml-var page_start>)
</dtml-if>

yet when both variables are in fact equal, say they both are equal to "4",
it still tells me they are not.
