else if statement ?

i found an old thread on the topic that seemed inconclusive, so i’m wondering if there were any updates to the core to accomodate this need.

<txp:if_article_category name=“blab”>
<p>show content</p>
<txp:else />
show other content
<txp:elseif name=“blab3” />
show a third set of content
</txp:if_article_category>

is smd_if the best choice to tackle this, and if so how do i use it for this purpose?

In theory you can nest as many conditional tags as you like. Just remember to close them all at the end ;)
