An Operation Tag allows for basic logic with Flex. For example, looping through categories.
Example:
{% define $x = 1 %}
{% loop category(cat_featured_products, 'name', 'asc') %}
{% if $x == 1 %}
<tr>
{% endif %}
<td>
<a href="{cat_featured_products.url}">{cat_featured_products.name}</a>
</td>
{% if $x == 2 %}
</tr>
{% define $x = 1 %}
{% else %}
{% increment($x) %}
{% endif %}
{% endloop cat_featured_products %}
Output:
<tr> <td><a href="/clothing/mens">Mens</a></td> <td><a href="/clothing/womens">Womens</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/clothing/hats">Hats</a></td> <td><a href="/clothing/accessories">Accessories</a></td> </tr>
From the example above, you can see we are all Operation Tags are enclosed by {% %}
