| | Examples using an if conditional expression on a Wednesday.
In both examples we extract the weekday (a string) from the current time.
If it is a Wednesday we emit a paragraph which serves as a
reminder of a meeting the following day. If not executed on a Wednesday,
we do not want any special text. We achieve this by returning the empty list,
which is spliced into the the body context (in the first example) and
into the paragraph context (in the second example). The splicing is a
result of the handling of lists by the HTML mirror functions in LAML.
The two examples differ slightly. In the first example the if is placed on the outer level, feeding information to body. In the second row, the if is placed at an inner level, feeding information
to the p function. The two examples also give slightly different results.
Can you characterize the results?
