equals Boolean Operator

A boolean operator used to determine if a particular value is equal to another value. It contains attributes "value1", "value2" and "exact", and has no child elements. It evaluates to true if and only if the values of the "value1" and "value2" attribute are equal. If "exact" is true, then they must be case-sensitive equals, otherwise they must be case-insensitive equals.

Note –

<istrue value="..."/> is a syntactic shorthand for <equals value1="..." value2="true"/>.
