Formatting text within smarty block

[bear]

All I need is to include a bit of html inside a bock of smarty {if} {/if} code, and I can't figure it out. No matter what I try it alternates between a blank page and displaying the tags literally.

 

All I want is to have part of it wrapped in < strong > and then part of it preceeded by a < br / > (spaces added to both to prevent parsing)

 

{if $productinfo.pid != ""}-add strong here--{$productinfo.name} --end it here and include line return -- {$productinfo.description}{/if} 

 

Is that possible?

Here I go again, answering my own...

I simply broke the {if} blocks into 2 separate ones, and wrapped the first in the tags I wanted.

Too easy.

[b]{if $productinfo.pid != ""}You chose the {$productinfo.name}{/if}[/b]

{if $productinfo.pid != ""}{$productinfo.description}{/if}

Or better yet you could do the following:

 

{if $productinfo}<p align="center">[b]You chose the {$productinfo.name}[/b]
{$productinfo.description}</p>{/if}
