Any way to do string comparison inside an if condition?

[thecodrr]

Basically something like:

{% if site.config.theme  == "light" %}

{% else %}
    
{% endif %}

Currently the upon way to do this is with a filter. For example:

engine.add_filter("eq", str::eq);

And then in your template

{% if site.config.theme | eq: "light" %}

{% else %}
    
{% endif %}

I do think == and != is a common enough operation that it is probably worth adding as a first class thing. I wanted to avoid adding stuff like + and - expressions because the templates get really complicated but I think boolean operators are probably fine.

I have opened #21 to track this
