[ic] [if] [/if] inside loop list

[interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com (Michelle Wilant)]

I just spent what felt like forever trying to figure this out myself.  I finally had a
breakthough.  If you want to do some basic perl if statements within your loop or list tags,
use:

[if-sql-field <query field here> <operator> <towhat>]
and end the if loop with:
[/if-sql-field]

for example:
[if-sql-field sku != "5555"]
    ...then do...
[/if-sql-field]

It took me a while to find this.  It would be nice to - in the future - have this documented
under the [if] documentation in the books and online docs, or some reference or pointer
saying something to the effect of using if on query results.
