Hello everyone.
I'm getting an unexpected behavior when evaluating a condition or more possibly I'm doing something wrong.
Basically, I want my letter template to add certain closing content depending on the value supplied.

there's your problem

#

to be clearer: [A] isn't equal to "A", so you will either have to write closing: "A", or compare against [A]

#

[A] is a markup block, you can add elements to it, e.g. [*bold* _italics_], but a string isnt markup so "*bold* _italics_" will render with literal asterisks and underlines
