The {else} tag should not accept arguments silently

[saulery]

Hello,

I have a specific Warranty field that tells me the warranty period that applies beyond the legal warranty. Its value can be 0 to N, 0 for no warranty extension beyond the legal warranty. So I want to display the corresponding mention only when the specific warranty is greater than zero. In addition, I have to manage the plural on the year.

The code should have been this:

{if $specific_warranty_in_year > 1}
   <p>Specific guarantee : {$specific_warranty_in_year} years</p>
{elseif $specific_warranty_in_year eq 1}
   <p>Specific guarantee : {$specific_warranty_in_year} year</p>
{/if}

I made a mistake and typed 'else' instead of 'elseif'.

{if $specific_warranty_in_year > 1}
   <p>Specific guarantee : {$specific_warranty_in_year} years</p>
{else $specific_warranty_in_year eq 1}
   <p>Specific guarantee : {$specific_warranty_in_year} year</p>
{/if}

Which to my surprise displays "Specific guarantee : 0 year" instead of causing an error.

I guess the parser doesn't know how to distinguish between 'else' and 'elseif', and doesn't know that 'else' doesn't accept arguments.

Regards,
