hi there,

let's say i have something like

  <a href=3D"#" tal:attributes=3D"href person/homepage">
    <span tal:replace=3D"person/name" />
  </a>

within a tal:repeat in a ZPT.

is there a way to test for person/homepage first, and if it does not
exist, just omit the <a> tag but publish the <span> tag (effectively
printing the name without a link)?

right now i am doing it like so:

  <div tal:condition=3D"person/homepage">
    <a href=3D"#" tal:attributes=3D"href person/homepage">
      <span tal:replace=3D"person/name" />
    </a>
  </div>
  <div tal:condition=3D"not:person/homepage">
    <span tal:replace=3D"person/name" />
  </div>

which is ugly at best.

also, is there an 'else' construct in TALES?
