- Add remove_empty_p option, usually for AO3/OTW. #1177
This has been asked for more than once and I never put it in, partly because I thought (and still think) it's something AO3 should have addressed. Right now, I just want to be able to fix
something.
Let me know if you think it's too narrow or too broad, but I will expect references to story chapters showing that.
Code:
## Some sites/authors/stories (notably AO3/OTW) add empty p tags where
## they aren't intended by the author during document upload and not
## all authors know how/take the time to fix it. This feature removes
## all "empty" <p> tags, ie, those containing only whitespace or <br>
## tags. Literally: <p[^>]*>\s*(<br/>)*\s*</p>
#remove_empty_p: false
