Rails - Aug 2006 - Customizing show

I''m trying to tidy up my first rails app, and want to customize the
action
''show'' (created by generating a scaffold). It''s a
recipe database, and some
of the fields are not required when submitting a new recipe, such as the
"History" field. However, when I want to show that recipe, I
don''t want the
column name "History" to show if there is no variable for that
particular
recipe. How do I create this conditional element?
