I have this XML and want to sometimes display the info and sometomes not. Is there anyway to write in the XML doc that displays nothing?

```php

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

<subnumber>
	<subinfo>
		<path>main6/images2/01.gif</path>
		<info><![CDATA[<textformat leading="3"><p><span class="hilight">RUBRIK</span><br><span class="year">Uppdragsgivare: XXX<br>Datum: XXX/XXX</span><br>TEXT</p></textformat>]]></info>
	</subinfo>
	<subinfo>
		<path>main6/images2/02.gif</path>
		<info></info>
	</subinfo>
	<subinfo>
		<path>main6/images2/03.gif</path>
		<info></info>
	</subinfo>
	<subinfo>
