Description
As best I can tell, using void elements with webc:if="false" (or in practice, with a variable or function that returns false) doesn't return anything with webc:else or webc:elseif until an end tag or a webc:if="true" comes along. I wasn't able to find this documented in the subtleties and limitations section of the webc docs or in the existing issues, I hope I haven't just missed it.
Trying to work around it for now. Would love if anyone had thoughts!
Example with no end tags
<meta webc:if="true" name="test1" content="this should be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test1" content="this should not be returned">
<!-- should return with test1 -->
<meta webc:if="false" name="test2" content="this should not be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test2" content="this should be returned">
<!-- if is false, should return else -->
<meta webc:if="false" name="test3" content="this should not be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test3" content="this should be returned">
<!-- if is false, should return else -->
<meta webc:if="false" name="test4" content="this not should be returned">
<meta webc:elseif="true" name="test4" content="this should be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test4" content="this should not be returned">
<!-- elseif is true, should return elseif -->
<meta webc:if="true" name="test5" content="this should be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test5" content="this should not be returned">
<!-- if is true, should return elseif -->Instead of returning with 5 meta tags, each with a unique "name" attribute and with "this should be returned" in the content attribute, this returns only 2 meta tags:
<meta name="test1" content="this should be returned">
<!-- should return with test1 -->
<!-- if is false, should return else -->
<!-- if is false, should return else -->
<!-- elseif is true, should return elseif -->
<meta name="test5" content="this should be returned">
<!-- if is true, should return elseif -->Example with end tags before each webc:if, closer to expected behavior
<meta webc:if="true" name="test1" content="this should be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test1" content="this should not be returned">
<!-- should return with test1 -->
<div webc:ignore></div>
<meta webc:if="false" name="test2" content="this should not be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test2" content="this should be returned">
<!-- if is false, should return else -->
<div webc:ignore></div>
<meta webc:if="false" name="test3" content="this should not be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test3" content="this should be returned">
<!-- if is false, should return else -->
<div webc:ignore></div>
<meta webc:if="false" name="test4" content="this not should be returned">
<meta webc:elseif="true" name="test4" content="this should be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test4" content="this should not be returned">
<!-- elseif is true, should return elseif -->
<div webc:ignore></div>
<meta webc:if="true" name="test5" content="this should be returned">
<meta webc:else name="test5" content="this should not be returned">
<!-- if is true, should return elseif -->This returns what I expected to see originally, with all 4 meta tags in place.
<meta name="test1" content="this should be returned">
<!-- should return with test1 -->
<meta name="test2" content="this should be returned">
<!-- if is false, should return else -->
<meta name="test3" content="this should be returned">
<!-- if is false, should return else -->
<meta name="test4" content="this should be returned">
<!-- elseif is true, should return elseif -->
<meta name="test5" content="this should be returned">
<!-- if is true, should return elseif -->Metadata
