near that statement, it says that the syntax of the booleans is
explained below. and further down you'll see:
Note that each expression is a single argument within the if command.
Thus if you want to include spaces in the expression for clarity, you
must enclose the entire expression in quotes.
so actually quotes are *not* required, only if there are spaces in the
boolean expression. thus this will work, too.
if 2==1 then "variable t equal 5" else "variable t equal 10"
print "$t"
10
as with all kinds of documentation. the answer is often there, but it
may require that you look at it with more care or check it multiple
times.
