    In pseudo code
    Based on the value of the honor_type taxonomy, I would like different output:
    if Honor_Type = "Faculty"
    output <h4 class="class-of">Years of Service {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
    else
    output <h4 class="class-of">Years of Service {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
    end if

    
Is this possible with Twig? If so, how?

Here's the Twig code I have in the View:

	<div class="card-heading">
		<h4 class="honor-type">
		{% for item in post.vod_honor_type_tax %} 
			{{ item.name }}
		{% endfor %}</h4>
		<h1 class="honoree-name">{{ post.vod_honoree_names }}</h1>		
		<h4 class="class-of">class of {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
     </div>

    It's the last line containing the h4 that I need to vary based on the value of vod_honor_type.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello there,

    It's not a possibility of Twig, it's how you create your conditional code to output the value. I add the code below for example.

    {% for item in post.vod_honor_type_tax %} 
	{% if item.name == 'somthing' %}
		<h4 class="honor-type">{{ item.name }}</h4>
		<h1 class="honoree-name">{{ post.vod_honoree_names }}</h1>		
		<h4 class="class-of">class of {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
	{% else %}
		something if false
	{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

    To understand how to use Twig, please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#twig

    Thanks Peter.

    This code goes into a view for a Single item, so I don't think I can use a for loop as I'm seeing multiple items returned.

    <div class="vod-wrapper">
	<div class="card-heading">
	    <h4 class="honor-type">{{ post.vod_honor_type_tax.name }}</h4>
		<h1 class="honoree-name">{{ post.vod_honoree_names }}</h1> 
		{% for item in post.vod_honor_type_tax %} 
			{% if item.name == 'Faculty' %}
                <h4 class="years-of-service">Years of Service {{ post.years_of_service }}</h4>
        {% else %}
                <h4 class="class-of">Class of {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
        {% endif %}
		{% endfor %}

</div>

    With the View code above, I'm seeing this for output
    https://share.cleanshot.com/W9vpCDL2
    and
    https://share.cleanshot.com/bhN2v6Xj

    Instead of this:

    and

    Hello,

    If this code output the honor type term name correctly

    <h4 class="honor-type">{{ post.vod_honor_type_tax.name }}</h4>

    then I think you don't need to use the loop to check the term name.

    Thank you Peter.
    This is what I finally got to work. I appreciate your help in finding a solution.

    The key I was looking for was:
    {% if post.vod_honor_type_tax.name == 'Faculty' %}

    	<div class="card-heading">
	    <h4 class="honor-type">{{ post.vod_honor_type_tax.name }}</h4>
		<h1 class="honoree-name">{{ post.vod_honoree_names }}</h1> 
			{% if post.vod_honor_type_tax.name == 'Faculty' %}
			   <h4 class="years-of-service">Years of Service {{ post.years_of_service }}</h4>
			{% else %}
			    <h4 class="class-of">class of {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
			{% endif %}
	</div>
