# KVXMLEmptyParaType

This enumerated type defines the options for paragraphs that do not contain content. This enumerated type is defined in `kvxml.h`.

## Definition

    typedef enum tag_KVXMLEmptyParaType
    {
        KVEPT_SUPPRESS,    /* No markup generated        */
         KVEPT_EMPTY,      /* Use <p/>                   */
         KVEPT_VERBOSE     /* Use <p id="...>&nbsp;</p>  */
    }
    KVXMLEmptyParaType;

## Enumerators

`KVEPT_SUPPRESS` | paragraphs without content are ignored. They do not contribute white space and do not affect the ID number of subsequent paragraphs. This is the default value.
`KVEPT_EMPTY` | paragraphs without content are represented by an "empty" paragraph element `<p/>`. These contribute minimal white space, but do not affect the ID number of subsequent paragraphs.
`KVEPT_VERBOSE` | paragraphs without content contain a fully-defined start tag `<p id="...">` with all non-default attributes, a `&nbsp;` character entity, and end tag `</p>`. These contribute additional white space and affect the ID number of subsequent paragraphs.
