21.3.10 Eliminating empty paragraphs in text
If a paragraph is empty, it usually takes up more space in HTML than it did in FrameMaker, often three times as much. To eliminate empty paragraphs:
; RemoveEmptyParagraphs = No (default) or Yes (remove paras w/o text)
When RemoveEmptyParagraphs=Yes, tags for empty paragraphs in text are not included in HTML output. This setting does not affect either of the following:
• empty paragraphs in table cells, for which there is a separate configuration setting; see §24.4.10 Deciding what to do with empty paragraphs in table cells
• preformatted text, where empty paragraph tags are always preserved.
Mif2Go considers a paragraph that contains only markers (no text) to be empty for the purpose of generating HTML tags. Therefore when RemoveEmptyParagraphs=Yes, the markers still work, even though the paragraph itself disappears. However, any macro code you assign to the paragraph format will not be executed for empty instances of that format.
