ELSEIF tag

It would be wonderful to have an ELSEIF tag to go with the IF structure.

Hi Alexandra,

You can already achieve this by nesting, at least with the conditional text tool:

[IF_PDF>Text 1[ELSE>[IF_HTML>Text 2<END]<END]

That is true, but if you have several conditions (we currently have about a dozen products being managed through one document), it gets to be quite a convoluted nest. And heaven help you if you forget an END tag. From my side, an ELSIF tag would be so very very helpful.
