[Petal] 'Else' without using the ugly syntax

  <tag tal:content="EXPRESSION">Dummy Data To Replace With   
EXPRESSION</tag>
                                                                                
By default, the characters greater than, lesser than, double quote and
ampersand are encoded to the entities &lt;, &gt;, &quot; and &amp;
respectively.  If you don’t want them to (because the result of your
expression is already encoded) you have to use the "structure" keyword.
                                                                                Example
                                                                                  <span tal:content="title">Dummy Title</span>
                                                                                <span tal:content="structure some/variable">
    blah blah blah
</span>
