Documentation for the Conditional plugin for Supybot
====================================================

Purpose
-------

Contains numerous conditional commands (such as 'if', 'and', and 'or'),
which can be used on their own or with another plugin.
Also provides logic operators for writing conditions.

Useful for bot scripting / nested commands.

Usage
-----

This plugin provides logic operators and other commands that
enable you to run commands only if a condition is true. Useful for nested
commands and scripting.
