Example FBML

Here is example FBML code for <fb:else/>:

<fb:if value="true"> Display content here only if value="true".
    <fb:else> If fb:if's value were "false", then this would 
    be displayed. </fb:else> </fb:if>

Here is a second example:

<fb:if-is-user uid="1,2,3"> Display content here only if the 
    user has id 1,2,3. <fb:else> If uid is 4, 10, or anything 
    but 1,2,3, display this content. </fb:else> </fb:if>

Rendered HTML for Single Instance of Tag

In the first example, because value="true", the rendered HTML will always look like this:

Display content here only if value="true".

In the second example, if the user ID is 1, 2, or 3, the rendered HTML will look like this:

Display content here only if the user has id 1,2,3.

In the second example, if the user ID is not 1, 2, or 3, the rendered HTML will look like this:

If uid is 4, 10, or anything but 1,2,3, display this content.
