ConditionalStatementsAndVerticalSpace

This page illustrates a problem with (:if ...:) and vertical space.

Let's say we want to produce a list where an item is only shown if a condition is satisfied:

* Item A
(:if true:)
* Item - true
(:ifend:)
* Item B
* Item C
(:if false:)
* Item - false
(:ifend:)
* Item D

Item A
Item - true
Item B
Item C
Item D

Notice the extra vertical space in the item list...

Here is a possible workaround:

* Item A - (:if true:)
* Item - true
(:ifend:)* Item B
* Item C (:if false:)
* Item - false (:ifend:)
* Item D

Item A -
Item - true
Item B
Item C
Item D

A slightly nicer looking workaround:

* Item A - \
(:if true:)
* Item - true \
(:ifend:)
* Item B
* Item C \
(:if false:)
* Item - false \
(:ifend:)
* Item D

Item A -
Item - true
Item B
Item C
Item D

Here is every item inside an if-line, every item takes one line.
The false item occupies a line and shows as a blank line.
Seem logical to me. ~HansB

* Item A - 
(:if true:)* Item B - true(:ifend:)
* Item C 
(:if false:)* Item D - false (:ifend:)
* Item E

Item A -
Item B - true
Item C
Item E
