Question

I want to make something like that:

     @if ( some-statement )
     {
        <div class="row-link">
     }
     else
     {
        <div class="row">
     }
     <div class="new">some content</div>
     </div>

but the compiler keeps telling me that the if has no closing character!
What’s wrong?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Use <text>

@if ( some-statement)
 {
    <text>
    <div class="row-link">
    </text>
 }
 else
 {
    <text>
    <div class="row">
    </text>
 }
 <div class="new">some content</div>
 </div>
