{$:anchor} -->> always prints 'othertrue'
Defining a variable with two values seems rather an unusual way to try
to use it, and obviously it is not working. Only the first PTV of
same name will be recognised by PmWiki.
More logical to me seems to use something like
(:anchor1:foo:)
(:anchor2:bar:)
(:if condition...:){$:anchor1}
(:else:){$:anchor2}
(:ifend:)
