Question

I am trying to build a switch/case structure around a range of integer values. As stated in the language reference, if the case expression is the symbol default, it always matches the switch. However, I am looking for a symbol that matches in all cases except for the ones listed above the symbol…

<ul tal:switch="i">
  <li tal:case="1">one</li>
  <li tal:case="2">two</li>
  <li tal:case="default">not one or two</li>
</ul>

I have tried the otherwise symbol, but it doesn’t work either.

True. There’s no sense in the docs, because “default” will always match. It’s a bug!

Please someone report it on the Github tracker.
