It may be possible to intercept the if code and find out what
condition pmwiki is evaluating, which should give information about
what is happening. Try this in local/config.php:<br class="">
<br class="">
$CondTextReplacement = "MyTempRepl(\$pagename, \$m[0], \$m[1])";<br class="">
function MyTempRepl($pagename, $text, $code='') {<br class="">
echo $text;<br class="">
return CondText2($pagename, $text, $code);<br class="">
}<br class="">
<br class="">
If I am reading stdmarkup.php correctly, this should echo the
contents of the if code at the time the conditional is evaluated,
which will show whether the var has been evaluated as intended.<br class="">
