Introduction
The reveal widget hides or shows its content depending upon the value of a state tiddler. The type of the widget determines the condition for the content being displayed:
- type=match: the content is displayed if the state tiddler matches the text attribute value
- type=nomatch: the content is displayed if the state tiddler doesn't match the text attribute value
- type=popup: the content is displayed as a popup as described in the PopupMechanism
- type=lt: the content is displayed if the state tiddler contains an integer with a value less than the text attribute value
- type=gt: the content is displayed if the state tiddler contains an integer with a value greater than the text attribute value
- type=lteq: the content is displayed if the state tiddler contains an integer with a value less than or equal to the text attribute value
- type=gteq: the content is displayed if the state tiddler contains an integer with a value greater than or equal to the text attribute value
