more operators

seems like a simple, logical ;), step:

the if statement only seems to take = and != (Manual)
But could it also take > and <? or even better also <= and >=??

That would be great, saves me from making the check in PHP

Yes, you're right. It's easy to implement.
Except that TBS has to when it is a string or a number.

sorry?

I do not get your point :S

just use the standard PHP way to do it..

-when the condition parameters are in single quotes compare as string
-when not in string treat it as a number when it can be converted to one...

Is that good enough?

That's a good tip.
I'll do this way.

Yes that's ggod enought, but this feature will slow down a bit the condition check.

I don't think any other template system will do it faster??

and it is only a millisec, right?

You're right.
It could be sensible if you put conditional tags in a block with many lines. But I agree, it's to be done.
