At last IBM has introduced the tags to check element value
dynamically and generate markup in presentation templates. It was always
challenging to do this in earlier release as condition checking only possible
through the Javascript.
Following are different conditional and/or utility plugin tags introduced
1. Comment
plugin : This will not generate the client
markup (just like JSP Comments <%-- --%>).
[Plugin:Comment] This is
a comment [/Plugin:Comment]
2. Equals
Plugin: Generate the markup between the tags
[Plugin:Equals
text1="Success" text2="[Element context='current' type='content'
key='testoption']"]
Option selected is "success",
[Element context="current" type="content"
key="body"]
[/Plugin:Equals]
3. Not
Equals Plugin
[Plugin:NotEquals
text1="Success" text2="[Element context='current' type='content'
key='testoption']"]
Option selected is not success i.e fail,
link to <a href="[Element context="current"
type="content"
key="testfileresource"]">Guidlines</a>
[/Plugin:NotEquals]
4. Matches
Plugin
[Plugin:Matches
pattern=".*success*." text="[Element context='current'
type='content' key='testoption']"]
Option selected is matches to "success"
[/Plugin:Matches]
Negative match
[Plugin:Matches
pattern=".*success*." negative-match="true"
text="[Element context='current' type='content' key='testoption']"]
Option selected is not matched to
"success".i.e failed.
[/Plugin:Matches]
5. Locale
Plugin : Markup between the start and
end tags is rendered only if the preferred supported locale is determined.
Displays language [Plugin:Locale]
Displays language in
specified format [Plugin:Locale
pattern="{language}_{country}"]
Display markup based
between start and end tags
[Plugin:Locale
acceptLanguage="da,fo;q=0.8,fi;q=0.6,is;q=0.4,no;q=0.2,sv;q=0.2"
printLocale="false"]
<div>This markup
is displayed only if the current context supports a locale
that represents one of
the specified Nordic languages.</div>
[/Plugin:Locale]
[Plugin:Matches pattern="es(.*)"
text="[Plugin:Locale]"]
<div>This markup
appears only if the preferred supported locale in the current context
represents a Spanish language. Neither the country code nor the variant are
important as ls the language code of the locale is "es".</div>
[/Plugin:Matches]
6. ThemeCapability

Example of a string that
is returned when the [Plugin:ThemeCapability] tag is rendered on a page that
uses the full profile theme:
