Switch ViewHelper <f:switch> 

Switch ViewHelper which can be used to render content depending on a value or expression. Implements what a basic PHP switch() does.

An optional default case can be specified which is rendered if none of the case conditions matches.

Using this ViewHelper can be a sign of weak architecture. If you end up using it extensively you might want to consider restructuring your controllers/actions and/or use partials and sections. E.g. the above example could be achieved with <f:render partial="title.{person.gender}" /> and the partials "title.male.html", "title.female.html", ... Depending on the scenario this can be easier to extend and possibly contains less duplication.
