I didn’t try this, but I’d expect something like this might work:

ifeval::["{myvar}" == “blue”]
:myvarblue: yes
endif::[]

feval::["{myvar}" == “red”]
:myvarred: yes
endif::[]

:myvarblueorred: {myvarblue}{myvarred}

ifeval::[ “{myvarblueorred}” != “” ]
This is for categories that are blue or red.
endif::[]

ifeval::[ “{myvarblueorred}” ==“” ]
This is for categories that are neither blue nor red
endif::[]

“AND” could be done similarly (e..g == ‘yeses”)

At this point I have no opinion on whether your suggestion might be a good idea or not, but there might be a slightly less inconvenient workaround  available now.

Hi Team,

I am not sure how difficult it would be to implement, but it would be very useful to have the ability to do something like this:

:myvar: blue
ifeval::[ "{myvar}" == "blue" OR "{myvar}" == "red" ]
This is for categories that are blue or red.
else::[]
This is for categories that are not blue or red
endif::[]

At the moment, I believe the only way to achieve the above is by doing:

:myvar: blue
ifeval::[ "{myvar}" == "blue" ]
This is for categories that are blue or red.
endif::[]

ifeval::[ "{myvar}" == "red" ]
This is for categories that are blue or red.
endif::[]

ifeval::[ "{myvar}" != "blue" ]
ifeval::[ "{myvar}" != "red" ]
This is for categories that are not blue.
endif::[]
endif::[]
