The ifnotequal tag compared two values and displayed the contents of the block if they were not equal.

Old Syntax (No Longer Works)

{% ifnotequal user.username "admin" %}
  You are not the admin.
{% endifnotequal %}

New Syntax

{% if user.username != "admin" %}
  You are not the admin.
{% endif %}

Commentary

This tag no longer exists. Use the if tag with the != operator instead.
