`<else>` (Else)

This element is similar to an else statement in a programming language in that it wraps elements which are to be used when the if conditionals are not true.

example:

<choose name="Name1">
	<if name="Name2" func="var" arg="dir" op="equ" val="norm">
	<alg type="snake">
	<param type="grDir" val="tL"/>
	<param type="flowDir" val="row"/>
	<param type="contDir" val="sameDir"/>
	<param type="off" val="ctr"/>
	</alg>
	</if>
	<else name="Name3">
	<alg type="snake">
	<param type="grDir" val="tR"/>
	<param type="flowDir" val="row"/>
	<param type="contDir" val="sameDir"/>
	<param type="off" val="ctr"/>
	</alg>
	</else>
</choose>

In this example, a <else> element is used to define a set of parameters associated with the snake algorithm when the diagram is reversed]
