Is it possible to compare two string in DWT

Question

I have some requirement where i have to compare two string values in DWT code like below

 <!-- TemplateBeginIf cond="'title' == 'title'" -->
    .......
    <!-- TemplateEndIf -->
    <!-- TemplateBeginIf cond="'date' == 'date'" -->
     .................
    <!-- TemplateEndIf -->

it looks not working. Now my question is that can i compare string values these way.

P.S.- it may look you guys that why i need this but i am leaving the detail of all requirement here just for the sake of simplicity.

Thanks,

This is absolutely possible and in your case it is not working because the syntax that you have used is incorrect:

You should have written your code as

<!-- TemplateBeginIf cond="'title'=='title'" -->

Instead of

<!-- TemplateBeginIf cond="'title' == 'title'" -->

Mind the space before and after the equal operator.

Also, consider the suggestion given by Nuno to double check if one of the comparison entity in the if condition is a variable. The variable should not be in surrounded by ' ' whereas the text/string should have been surrounded by them.
