15.6.5.2 Retaining empty paragraph tags in DITA table cells

By default, for DITA output Mif2Go omits paragraph tags for otherwise empty non-preformatted paragraphs in table cells. However, you can choose to keep the tags:

[Tables]

; RemoveEmptyTableParagraphs = No (default)

;  or Yes (DITA/DocBook default)

RemoveEmptyTableParagraphs = No

When RemoveEmptyTableParagraphs=No, paragraph tags (such as <p></p>) for empty paragraphs are retained in table cells in DITA XML.

When RemoveEmptyTableParagraphs=Yes, paragraph tags for empty paragraphs in table cells are omitted (except for preformatted text, where tags are always preserved). A table cell that is blank in FrameMaker (contains only empty paragraphs) would become just <td></td> in DITA XML output.

Note:  This setting is independent of the setting for removing empty paragraphs in text; see §15.3 Specifying general options for DITA.
