Compare the value of two txp variables

I thought this would work

<txp:if_variable name="year" value="<txp:variable name="cyear" />">

but I keep getting

Tag error: <txp:if_variable> ->  Textpattern Notice: variable_name_empty  on line 4524

I thought I could find the answer looking around but I am coming up empty.

Re: Compare the value of two txp variables

Tags in Tags requires single quotes. Could that be the problem?

Re: Compare the value of two txp variables

It always does help to actually read the directions.

And after a little bit more experimentation, I was able to reduce it down to one variable and one tag:

<txp:if_variable name="archiveyear" value='<txp:posted format="%y" />'>

Thanks.
