You might really want an alternate syntax, but it is't part of MML (nor
Perl). And since the [elsif] does the same thing as what you want, us it.
Just close your eyes when you have to scroll past that section of code.

Can any help me with the syntax for a different type of if
currently I know of being able to
i.e.
[if value somthing == 1]
 [then]                         something 1    [/then]
 [elseif value something == 2]  something 2    [/elsif]
 [else]                         something rest [/else]
[/if]

but I would really like to be
[if value something]
    [condition something == 1]  something 1      [/condition]
    [condition something == 2]  something 2      [/condition]
    [condition something == 3]  something 3      [/condition]
    [condition something == 4]  something 4      [/condition]
........and so on.......
[/if]

so it finds the contion that matches and does it.
bit like a case statement.
I know that I can use no end of nested Ifs but that becomes messy
any help???????????
