### Conditional Brackets

<figure><img src="https://1706764988-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-L9jkFgNo4lpUof35gvS%2Fuploads%2F2omhopXlGqK67TJ9M68g%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=e18aca50-9ca4-41cd-9f8a-b3d0d84f230d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The square brackets aka `[` and `]` represent a conditional wrapper. Whatever is wrapped within these brackets is considered conditional, meaning:

* If any of the field values is empty, everything within the conditional is returned as empty
* You can use any number of fields in the conditionals
* You can use any text or HTML within the conditionals

#### Practical example

Say you have a field name "text\_field", which may not be assigned to all of the results. You want to display the field value such as:

*My field: **{field value here}***

The issue is, that when a result has no "text\_field", the following text will be displayed:

*My field:*

By using conditionals, you can wrap the field and the preceeding text with the conditional, to avoid printing the "*My field:"* text when the "text\_field" is empty.

### Using Shortcodes in Advanced Title or Content Fields

Because the square brackets are used for conditional brackets, using shortcodes is possible via **double square** brackets.

To use a shortcode `[my_shortcode]` in the field, the brackets have to be doubled so it becomes `[[my_shortcode]]`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Shortcodes should not be used within [conditional brackets](#conditional-bracket-examples). The shortcode contents are executed after the conditional brackets are evaluated, therefore they don't have any effect on the conditionals.
{% endhint %}

#### Using my\_shortcode in a paragraph block

<pre><code><strong>&#x3C;p>[[my_shortcode]]&#x3C;/p>
</strong></code></pre>

#### Using a shortcode with an opening and closing tag

```
[[shortcode_with_closing_tag]]Shortcode Content[[/shortcode_with_closing_tag]]
```

#### Using nested shortcodes within a div element

```
<div>
[[nested_shortcodes]]
    [[single_shortcode]]
[[/nested_shortcodes]]
</div>
```
