^equal( data1, data2 )^ (DEPRECATED)

This pages describes features, codes or syntax whose use is now DEPRECATED, i.e. not advised either for new or continued pre-existing use.

Deprecated aspects of Tinderbox may be supported on a legacy basis but the latter support can't be presumed to be indefinite. Therefore you should update your active TBX documents to latest practice as soon as practical.

DEPRECATED - use '==' equality operator.

^equal( data1, data2 )^

DEPRECATED. Use the '==' equality operator instead. Thus the result of ^value(if("yes"=="no"){"yes"}else{"no"})^ is: no.

Thus ^not()^ is similarly deprecated.

Old usage is below.

If data1 is equal to data2, this condition is true. To test inequality, test within ^not()^.

Result of ^equal(yes,yes)^ is: true

Result of ^equal(yes,no)^ is: false
