You can convert empty chapters into bullet point lists and remove empty chapters from the documentation upon documentation generation.
Bullet Point List Conversion
You can set chapter headings which have no other content to be converted into bullet point lists upon documentation generation. This only happens if all headings under the common super-chapter do not have contents. Chapters converted into bullet point lists are not removed when empty chapters are deleted.
Example
You have set that attributes and the type will be shown with the class in the documentation. The Example class has two attributes; only one of these has a type. If bullet point list conversion is activated, a chapter structure is created which contains both attributes shown in a chapter below the class; one is empty and the other is a bullet point list (possibly below a subheading for the type).
Removing Empty Chapters
You can configure documentation commands so that the documentation generator removes all chapters which have no content upon successful bullet point list conversion. This process is carried out recursively from the leaf node upwards so that larger parts of the chapter structure can also be deleted.
Example (Continued)
If you take the case described above and the empty chapter is removed from the documentation generator, the attribute's heading without type is also deleted.
Not Deleting Empty Chapters
You do not normally want to delete empty chapters (see the above example); this is why Innovator has an option you can set to keep them. Activate the Keep if empty property in the Properties tab in the Properties dialog for the relevant model element enumeration chapter.
