I have the following code which I want to behave in the following way: If the folder contains an object named "bio_text", create an <a>, otherwise, simply print the text. I have tried various templates using the tal:omit-tag operator with no success (meaning that I have not found the right clause to omit-tag to cause it to not print the tag when the object doesn't exist. Help is appreciated.
