However+dependent clause
if you come to the point where a dependent clause and a word like however needs to be used, do you us 1 or 2 commas?
For instance
However, if you buy that pie,
OR
However if you buy that pie,
Thanks!

'However' is not a part of 'if', so use comma to separate them.
Of course, you may change the wording for 'if-clause' to avoid one comma in the sentence.
Ex: However, you will not have to eat dinner with us if you buy that pie.
