texte = Yes, the "if" context performs an implied [math] context on numeric values or expressions, but you do need to be careful with it. For example: [if 3-2>4][then]yes[/then][else]no[/else][/if] returns "yes", even though 3-2 is not greater than 4. If you put the 3-2 in parentheses: [if (3-2)>4][then]yes[/then][else]no[/else][/if] it returns the correct "no". I tried a test with Donovan's "[if floor([num]/100) ! mHundreds]", and it works. So, while I know that the implied math in the if context works, the requirement to be careful with your math expressions is enough to keep me using the (unnecessary) math contexts and square brackets. - brian On Thursday, July 31, 2003, at 10:29 AM, Donovan wrote: > A little slimmer..
