Navigation depth limited?

[Sennik]

I am trying to create a nice megamenu requiring specific classes on the nav's children en their grandchildren. So I cannot use the magical Statamic solution {{ recursive children }} where I cannot add classes on automagically created children.

My problem, when I create a second branch using children I get an error on this second branch:

syntax error, unexpected token "else", expecting end of file on line XX of:

Example code (I removed irrelevant stuff like classes out of this example to make it less cluttering):

<ul>
    {{ nav:collection:pages }}
        {{ if children }}
            <li>
                <a>{{ title }}</a>
                <ul>
                    {{ children }}
                        {{ if children }}
                            <li>
                                <a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a>
                                <ul>
                                    {{ children }}
                                        <li>
                                            <a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a>
                                        </li>
                                    {{ /children }}
                                </ul>
                            </li>
                        {{ else }}
                            <li>
                                <a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a>
                            </li>
                        {{ /if }}
                    {{ /children }}
                </ul>
            </li>
        {{ else }}
                <li>
                    <a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a>
                </li>
        {{ /if }}
    {{ /nav:collection:pages }}
</ul>

When I remove the deepest branch:

                                    {{ children }}
                                        <li>
                                            <a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a>
                                        </li>
                                    {{ /children }}

The error disappears and the code works.

Is there a limit on the amount of nested children or am I doing something wrong?

Looks like a parser issue to me. Good news is that the new parser doesn't have this issue. It'll be out in 3.3.

Nice to know ;-) Any estimate when 3.3 is released?
