syntax of the if-then-else construct

[SaintMichael57]

Dear FreePascal Community:
     Could you please describe the syntax of the if-then-else construct
which has imbedded in it compound statements?  Thank you.


                                       Best regards,
                                       Carl Mesaros

If you go to the manual,

https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/ref.html

and search for "then" or "else", you'll find

https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu57.html#x163-18500013.2.3

which has an example of nested if then else.

To make the nested IF statement clearer, there ought to be a change to the indentation, viz:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.  
2. if a then
3.       if b then
4.         begin
5.            (..)
6.         end;
7. else
8.   begin
9.      (..)
10.   end;
11.

I tend to like this website despite the ads. I might start referring to the Castle engine's documentation now.

Most places miss the syntax difference between the statement and block versions.

I have the slight suspicion( ) he is asking about a ternary operator function...... Compound statement?
