If Conditions

within tempalite, a template can have conditional sections by using the an if directive:

{% if <conditional> %}
    <statements>
{% elif <conditional> %}
    <statements>
{% else %}
    <statements>
{% endif %}

<conditional>

Any valid expression which generates a boolean value - just as in usual Python if statements

<statements>

Any combination of text, Context Variables, other loops, and If Conditions

The {% elif <conditional> %} and {% else %} directives are entirely optional (as they are in Python), but the {% endif %} statement is mandatory. Unlike normal python code indentation of the directives is not required (but is good practice in order to illustrate the structure of the template.
