### Conditionals

While the interpretation of symbols presented above is not a standard, the Djot specification leaves it to the rendering engine.
What we proposed there is thus perfectly acceptable so far.
It is thus perfectly acceptable so far...

Since user-defined symbols and context metadata are now made available.
There's a trickier problem, however, if you want to only use a symbol if it is defined.
If you use a non-existent symbol, say `:non-existent:`, you just get :non-existent: in the output.
We cannot just ignore it, since something might have been expected there, but this is objectively not what you want.

This converter therefore introduces an extension to the Djot attributes syntax, allowing you to conditionally render content based on the existence of a symbol.
The content is always parsed (so it has to remain valid Djot), but is only rendered if the symbol is defined.

[^djot-conds]: In this implementation, it only affects the _rendering._ Another consequence is that footnotes (including the pseudo-footnotes used for variable substitution) are parsed, so this feature does _not_ allow to conditionally define symbols.

[This content has the `{?title}` condition, and since the `:title:` symbol is defined (_:title:_), it is rendered.]{?title}
Just below, however, a paragraph is annotated with the `{?non-existent}` condition, so you should not see it.

Now, this paragraph has the `{!non-existent}` condition, and since the `non-existent` symbol is NOT defined, it is rendered.

Conditions work on blocks and inline elements alike.
They only apply to user-defined symbols (defined as pseudo-footnotes) and metadata symbols (set by the calling context).
They only apply to user-defined symbols (defined as pseudo-footnotes) and contextual metadata symbols (set by the calling context).

We can't say if future versions of the Djot specification will make use of `?` and `!` in attributes or bracketed content.
Therefore, we recommend that you call template files containing conditional content with the `.djt` extension, as a way to remember.
