+    <p>Note that the semantics of <em>==</em> are slightly different than Java where <em>==</em> 
+    can only be used to test object equality.  In Velocity the equivalent operator 
+    can be used to directly compare numbers, strings, or objects.

       Velocity has logical AND, OR and NOT operators as well.

+    <p>There are text versions of all logical operators, including
+    <em>eq</em>, <em>ne</em>, 
+    <em>and</em>, <em>or</em>, <em>not</em>, <em>gt</em>, <em>ge</em>, <em>lt</em>,

+
+    <p>One more useful note.  When you wish to include text immediately following
+    a <em>#else</em> directive you will need to use curly brackets immediately surrounding 
+    the directive to differentiate it from the following text.  
+    (Any directive can be delimited by
+    curly brackets, although this is most useful for <em>#else</em>).
