<else>

Conditional logic used in <if>. Indicates code to be executed only when the conditions for the <if> element and all <elseif> elements within the <if> element are not met (that is, their cond attributes evaluate to false).

Each <if> element can contain only one <else> statement, but several <elseif> statements. However, an <else> is not required.

See also <if> and <elseif>.
