I'm a new user and I've been extending my SS install over the past few days. Everything has been smooth sailing until today when I tried evaluating a string in the template that contained whitespace. If I try..

<% if MenuTitle != "Contact Us" %>

or

<% if MenuTitle != 'Contact Us' %>

or

<% if MenuTitle != {Contact Us} %>

or

(anything, really)

I receive the same error about an unexpected } in Page.ss

I checked the SSViewer.php file and found the regexs that replace the template code and couldn't find any allowance of whitespace in them.

Is there something I'm missing? A special way to escape?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Not too sure that will work. I always compare URLSegments since they're whitespace free.

No you're not missing anything.

The template parser is kept very simple.

In your case you could use

<% if InSection(contact-us) %>

or

<% if URLSegment = contact-us %>

to overcome this issue.
