Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Just noticed something strange happening with acs-templating if tags....

Yes.  From source:

<div id='wikicmds'>
  <if /xowiki/ not nil>
    <a href="/xowiki/" accesskey='i' title='Go to the start of this package ...'>Index</a>
  </if>
...
etc.
...
</div>

When viewed as I initially saw it, using the Firebug html viewer in Firefox, it has clearly been further mangled.  I suspect this is because Firebug is trying to make some sense of it:

<div id="wikicmds">
  <if nil="" not="" xowiki="">
    <a title="Go to the start of this package ..." accesskey='i' href="/xowiki/">Index</a>
  </if>
...
etc.
...
</div>

In both cases, the <if> tags are clearly present in the source received by the browser.

just double checked the HTML source of a xowiki default configuration with two actual installations, I see no IF-Tags in the generated HTML source. So it looks as something local to your configuration...
