How to Suppress Blank Lines in Layout Table Reports
Description
Learn how blank lines in static HTML elements and empty rows in a Layout Table report can be omitted when the report is generated.
Suppressing Blank Lines in Static HTML
Placing fields in a static HTML filed is a technique often used to display blocks of text, such as an address, in Layout Table reports. If a field is empty, however, this can create blank lines in the static HTML block. The blank lines can be removed by using the {begin:SuppressBlankLines} and {end:SuppressBlankLines} command directives. For example:
{begin:SuppressBlankLines} {bill_address_1} {bill_address_2} {bill_city} {bill_state_region} {bill_country} {bill_postal_code} {end:SuppressBlankLines}
