conditional select
Not sure how to define the problem but here goes.

I am having trouble writing out an optional element only if a condition
exists. I only want to display the indicators element IF and Only IF it
finds
a matching target. I cant figure out how to code this so that it only
writes out that tag if it finds a target and then writes out the
<indicator><name> as specified for each indicator that it finds.

I am not very good with templates and I assume that there is some
combination of templates that I could use to get this to work and I also
assume that this is a simple fix for the gurus our there but I am at a
loss.

Thanks for your help
Tom
