[TYPO3-project-4-3] Variation for TypoScript "if"

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi,

maybe some more usual way of expressing a condition would fit better the
understanding?

if = $a > $b
if.a =
if.b =

if = ( $a AND $b ) OR ( $c and $d )
if.a =
if.b =
if.c =
if.d =

And also having some basic functions:

if = CONTAINS($a, "xyz")
if.a = ...

etc. Even if it doesn't look too TypoScript'ish, it might look more
intuitive for people trying to figure it out.

Cheers,
Ernesto
