Template:Ifnotempty

Documentation

With this template #if can be used in a way such that it does not strip spaces and newlines from the "then" and "else" part. For evaluating the condition spaces and newlines are stripped like with ParserFunctions.

Usage

• {{ifnotempty|x| p | q }} gives " p "
• {{ifnotempty|| p | q }} gives " q "

Compare:

• {{#if:x| p | q }} gives "p"

Internal technical details

For evaluating the condition the template uses the actual parser function; however, not directly with p and q, because this strips spaces and newlines from the result, but with index values 1 and 2. The result can be 1, 2. The template with the applicable name is called (Template:P1 or Template:P2), with as parameters p and q.
