Conditional in Thymeleaf with text template mode

Question

I'm trying to process the thymeleaf template with plain text which includes the conditional operator:

<th:block th:if = "${[(${test})] == true}"> it works </th:block>

but i have such output:

<th:block th:if = "${true == true}"> it works </th:block>

Could you tell me, where did i go wrong?

If you're using textual template modes , you can't use html tags like <th:block /> anymore. Instead, the syntax looks like this:

[# th:if="${test}"]it works[/]
