  Removes or recreates a portion of the DOM tree based on an {expression}.
  
  If the expression assigned to `if` evaluates to a false value then the element is removed from the
  DOM, otherwise a clone of the element is reinserted into the DOM.
  
  # Example:
  
  ```
  <div *if="errorCount > 0" class="error">
    <!-- Error message displayed when the errorCount property on the current context is greater than 0. -->
    {{errorCount}} errors detected
  </div>
  ```
  
  # Syntax
  
  - `<div *if="condition">...</div>`
  - `<div template="if condition">...</div>`
  - `<template [if]="condition"><div>...</div></template>`
