Hide Empty Elements

Hide any element that doesn't contain content.

Tip: Hiding empty DITA elements is useful to prevent the automatically-generated labels from being added before empty DITA elements.

For examples of such labels, see Cause, Condition, Context, Example, Postreq, Prereq, Remedy, Result, Steps, Stepsection.
