Conditionally excluding a block of html in ASP.NET WebForms

This is just a simple question: how do I exclude a piece of html on an aspx web form from being returned by the server, based on a server-side evaluation?

I'm not talking about a control specifically since they tend to have Visible parameters, but rather just some raw html.

Some people object to the following method but its one that no one has answered with and I feel that it should be shown as an option. It can be handy when used properly. 

<% if (ShowLabel) {%>
<label>This will not be shown if the ShowLabel property evaluates false</label>
<%}%>

To make this work you would have a public or protected property on your page called ShowLabel which returns a boolean.
