That's fine. :-)

This does not work, because of the order of the different passes.
<ifeq ...> is from mp4h (pass 2) and {#VAR#} is from divert (pass5).

When evaluating the <ifeq ...> statement in pass 2, "{#VAR#}" is still
"{#VAR#}", it gets replaced later in pass 5.

Try "wml -p12 test.wml" to see how the file looks like after pass 2.

There will be written a "No? Why not?!" already at this stage, because
"{#VAR#}" hasn't been evaluated yet.

No.
