No offense, but is there some reason why you do not use column coloring? It seems to me somehow easier.

I think only the true calibre gurus will be able to answer this (not for us mortals)
What I meant is this: when our template code is parsed and it evolves into a not-situation (no non-ASCII code, or no title present), then the remainder of the template code on the same code line is not further processed, and immediately the next line is processed. So when the IF statement is FALSE, any ELSE statement (when present) is executed.
I noticed this behavior when I made a mistake in the IF part and it was not noticed until I had a title which did happened to have a non-ASCII character and only then triggered the formatter on the error.
