Well, actually, it does not have to be WordPress to have that if arguments. My example only shows the output IF the function exists, then the plugin displayed.

yeah , conditional tag can solve that problem, but I think WP had poor conditional tag feature.

Look , you can write conditional tag if plugins/ functions exist but you have not option to show something like error message or author announce that was related with plugins.

In TxP , we had conditional tags too, But with superb Improvisation and rich feature.

like :

<txp:if_plugin name=”cbs_gravatar” ver=”0.4> // trying search plugins… exist or not ..
<txp:cbs_gravatar /> // if exist , perform this tag …
<txp:else /> // if not …
<p>A message will iluminate if plugin cbs_gravatar is’nt exist // excecute this tag or text
</txp:if_plugin> // end of tag.

So …. Textish …
