I need to conditionally close tag in my Thymeleaf template. Say, during iterating some collection of elements I have to wrap series of some of them into single <div>:
<div>...element1, element2, element3...</div>
<div>...element4...</div>
<div>...element5, element6...</div>
This could be archived if some way of conditionally tag closing would exist. But I can't obviously write </div th:if="...">. If it would be jsp I could easily write something like:
<%if (condition) {%></div><%}%>
Any ideas how to solve this issue?
EDIT To be precise, my elements aren't just strings, they are complex inner html blocks.

In some situations, you want a certain snippet of the Thymeleaf Template to appear in the result if a certain condition is evaluated as true. To do this you can use the attribute th:if. Note: In Thymeleaf, A variable or an expression is evaluated as false if its value is null, false, 0, "false", "off", "no".
Switch Statements Thymeleaf also provides a way to display content conditionally using the equivalent of a switch statement in Java: the th:switch and th:case attributes. Note that as soon as one th:case attribute is evaluated as true , every other th:case attribute in the same switch context is evaluated as false .
In this case, you should use th:text . For example, Username: <p th:text=${account. username}>Username will be rendered here</p> . Note that, the text inside p tag won't be shown.
The th:if statement gets placed inside an HTML tag. condition represents a boolean variable provided by the controller. Alternatively, condition can be a statement that evaluates to true or false .
I think it's better represent the data as separate lists, as you mentioned in your previous answer.
But even for curiosity, there is an ugly workaround to achieve something similar to <%if (condition) {%></div><%}%>, as you asked.
The trick is to generate the tag as escaped text:
<th:block th:if="${openTagCondition}" th:utext="'<div>'" />
<th:block th:if="${colseTagCondition}" th:utext="'</div>'" />
This is just out of curiosity. I do not recommend using this workaround as it's pretty unreadable, harms maintainability and you can leave unbalanced tags.
