<mt:Else>

A container tag used within If and Unless blocks to output the alternate case.

This tag supports all of the attributes and logical operators available in the If tag and can be used multiple times to test for different scenarios.

Example:

    <mt:If name="some_variable">
        'some_variable' is assigned
    <mt:Else name="some_other_variable">
        'some_other_variable' is assigned
    <mt:Else>
        'some_variable' nor 'some_other_variable' is assigned
    </mt:If>

And note:

This is the incorrect way to do if/then based on the variable's value:

&lt;mt:if name="align" value="left"&gt;
...do some stuff...
&lt;mt:else name="align" value="right"&gt;
...do some stuff...
&lt;mt:else&gt;
...do some stuff...
&lt;/mt:if&gt;

While this is correct:

&lt;mt:if name="align" eq="left"&gt;
...do some stuff...
&lt;mt:else name="align" eq="right"&gt;
...do some stuff...
&lt;mt:else&gt;
...do some stuff...
&lt;/mt:if&gt;
