{{/if}}

​
lt (Less Than)

Returns true if the first value is less than the second. 
{{lt 5 10}}

{{#if (lt stock 10)}}
  <span class="low-stock">Low Stock</span>
{{/if}}

​
gte (Greater Than or Equal)

Combining Comparisons

Use with logical helpers for complex conditions: 
{{! Between range: 10 <= value <= 100 }}
{{#if (and (gte value 10) (lte value 100))}}
  <p>Value is in range</p>
{{/if}}

{{! Either condition }}
{{#if (or (eq status "active") (eq status "pending"))}}
  <p>Order is being processed</p>
{{/if}}

{{! Complex condition }}
{{#if (and (gt quantity 0) (eq inStock true) (neq status "discontinued"))}}
  <button>Add to Cart</button>
{{/if}}
