'Hyphenate files' will ensure books have rules for hyphenation if they don't already exist, 'Disable hyphenation' will remove any such rules if they do exist. If both are selected, 'Disable hyphenation' takes precedence.

Currently it does two things:
- Removes artifacts present when exporting a Microsoft Office document as an eBook.
- Removes empty headings (e.g. '<h1></h1>'
I always recommend it, but it's not necessary for standards compliance and sometimes publishers use empty headings (or '<br>', or empty '<p>', or so many things other than the correct way) for spacing so it may change the appearance of the book. If you care more about seeing the book as close as possible to the way it left the publisher, this setting may occasionally break that for you.
The reason for removing empty headings but not other empty content tags is Table of Contents generators frequently look for headings. Having empty headings can cause empty ToC entries to be added.
