====<<else>>====

<<else>> is a macro that is used to indicate text that should be displayed if the condition is //false//. It is paired with <<[[twine1:if]]>> or <<[[twine1:endif]]>>.

<code>
The door to the left leads to the pantry.
<<if visited("Pantry")>>
No way are you going back in there!
<<else>>
Sounds like a good place to search...
<<endif>>
</code>

The <<else>> macro can itself contain another "if //condition//", which causes the contents to only display if THAT condition is true:

<code>
<<if $health is 3>>\
You're in tip-top condition - fighting fit and frankly fearsome. No human or god can lick you!
<<else if $health is 2>>\
DOOMED! You're DOOMED, puny player!! You've lost already! YOU CANNOT WIN!! MWAHAHAHAHA!
<<endif>>\
</code>

You can insert as many <<else if>>'s as you want inside an <<if>> / <<endif>> pair.

(Note: if you prefer, you can also write "else if" as "elseif".)
