In fact I do use the [loop] to impleme= nt the do/while and repeat/until. 

But sine th= is discussion is all about adding new tags to reduce the convoluted need for= other programming, then the do/while and repeat/until both fall into that category. = ;

[elseif] would be a great addition for situations where you h= ave a number of mutually exclusive conditions that are to complex for [switc= h]. I have lots of code that looks like this:

[if (condition1)]
[then]
do stuff 1
[/then]
[else]
[if (condition2)]
[then]
do stuff 2
[/then]
= [else]
= [if (condition3)]
[then]
do stuff 3
= [/then]
[else]
do default stuff
= [/else]
[/if]
[/else]
[/if]
[/else]
[/if]

T= his would be much nicer if I could write:

[if (condition1= )]
[then]
do stuff 1
[/then]
[elseif (condition2)]
<= div>do stuff 2
[/elseif]
[elseif (condition3)]
do s= tuff 3
= [/elseif]
[else]
do default stuff
<= span class=3D"Apple-tab-span" style=3D"white-space:pre">[/el= se]
[/if]


This could simil= arly be addressed with an alternative form of switch/case. One possibility w= ould be if no parameters are in the [switch] tag, then [if]-style comparison= s could be put into each [case] tag:

[switch]
=
[case (condition1)]
do stuff 1
[/case]
[case= (condition2)]
do stuff 2
[/case]
[case (condition3)]
do stuff 3
[/case]
[default]
do default stuff
[/default]
[/switch]

There have been plenty of time when I needed a [do]/[while] or a= =20
[repeat]/[until] statement.

The [removehtml] needs to be improved to recognize the new format for =20=
HTML. Instead of removing HTML tags formatted like this:
<anything_between_here>
it needs to also recognize this new format like this:
<anything_between_here_followed_by_space_slash />

Secure cookies are a good idea and I could use those too.

In fact I do use the [loop] to impleme= nt the do/while and repeat/until. 

But sine th= is discussion is all about adding new tags to reduce the convoluted need for= other programming, then the do/while and repeat/until both fall into that category. = ;

[elseif] would be a great addition for situations where you h= ave a number of mutually exclusive conditions that are to complex for [switc= h]. I have lots of code that looks like this:

[if (condition1)]
[then]
do stuff 1
[/then]
[else]
[if (condition2)]
[then]
do stuff 2
[/then]
= [else]
= [if (condition3)]
[then]
do stuff 3
= [/then]
[else]
do default stuff
= [/else]
[/if]
[/else]
[/if]
[/else]
[/if]

T= his would be much nicer if I could write:

[if (condition1= )]
[then]
do stuff 1
[/then]
[elseif (condition2)]
<= div>do stuff 2
[/elseif]
[elseif (condition3)]
do s= tuff 3
= [/elseif]
[else]
do default stuff
<= span class=3D"Apple-tab-span" style=3D"white-space:pre">[/el= se]
[/if]


This could simil= arly be addressed with an alternative form of switch/case. One possibility w= ould be if no parameters are in the [switch] tag, then [if]-style comparison= s could be put into each [case] tag:

=
[case (condition1)]
do stuff 1
[/case]
[case= (condition2)]
do stuff 2
[/case]
[case (condition3)]
do stuff 3
[/case]
[default]
do default stuff
[/default]
[/switch]

There have been plenty of time when I needed a [do]/[while] or a= =20
[repeat]/[until] statement.

The [removehtml] needs to be improved to recognize the new format for =20=
HTML. Instead of removing HTML tags formatted like this:
<anything_between_here>
it needs to also recognize this new format like this:
<anything_between_here_followed_by_space_slash />

Secure cookies are a good idea and I could use those too.
