Simple Syntax question!

I have a component that I want to render based on the opposite of a checkbox setting...

 

THis works fine:

<apex:pageblock rendered="{!pitem.Sold__c}">
 
But I can't figure out how to NOT (or !) pitem.Sold__c
 
This doesn't work (nor do many different combinations of quotes and !s that I've tried.
<apex:pageblock rendered=NOT(pitem.Description)>

 
 
Anybody have a solution to this simple problem???

{! !pitem.Sold__c} or {!NOT(pitem.Sold__c)}

the {!} signifies that you're using an expression that Visualforce needs to parse.  Then either NOT() or ! is acceptable syntax.

Thanks so much - Interesting that the second ! is the one that signifies the NOT, this clarifies a few things for me!
