if/then/else, for, and old syntax

[erdnaxeli]

Hi,

This page talks about control structures. For the if/then/else it only expose the (new ?) syntax

if a < b then
  something
else
  something_else

But for the for or the while construct, it also show the old syntax with parenthesis around the condition and curly brackets. Isn't it a bit confusing? Should not the doc either:

• present the old syntax for the if/then/else too
• or present only the new syntax for all construct (my preferred solution)?

present the old syntax for the if/then/else too

agree

I just looked at this bug and that page, and if I understand it right, I think this has been completed as part of #2481, and can be closed?

I think you're right.
