if statement in html (with jinja2) - where should I edit to make it work?

UPDATE : There was whitespaces in session['sid'] and that was why this didn't work!
I'm using python, flask, jinja2, html.
This is a part of my html code.
<h1>{{session['sid']}}</h1> <!--shows 'admin'-->
<ul>
{% if session['sid'] != 'admin' %}
<li> <a href="/sendmail">SEND MAIL</a> </li>
<li> <a href="">MAIL BOX</a> </li>
{% endif %}
session is a dictionary type data sent to this html from python and I double checked that session['sid'] is 'admin'. But those hyperlinks still show up, so it looks like if statements doesn't work. Somewhere in the code, there is also session['sid']!='admin' which also doesn't work. I googled about ifstatement example in html, but I don't still understand where I made mistake. Can anybody let me know what I am missing here?
I have tried excluding ' around admin or using {% if equal session['sid'] 'admin'%} instead.

why not just debug the HTML? Inserting{{ session['sid'] }}will display its value and you can then determine whether it is or is not equal to'admin'

i tested your template (named as template.j2) with jinja-cli and this data file (named as data.json):
{
"session": {
"sid": "admin"
}
}
command line:
# pip install jinja-cli
# jinja -d data.json template.j2
the result is correct:
<ul>
</ul>
so i think the template is fine; you may want to dump session in python code to see if flask really sets its properly; flask.session is a proxy; under the hood it is a signed cookie (doc); so you probably should also check your cookie settings;
