Simple Body Replacement

Remove Macros without Body

The following template replaces the macro by its body content, for a list of macros. If the macro has no body, it will be removed.

{{!-- applyto:style,auibuttongroup,auibutton,div,bgcolor,alert,align,bibtex-reference,bibtex-display,center,clickable,auidialog,span,fancy-bullets,footnote,display-footnotes,highlight,auihorizontalnav,htmlcomment,img,table,tr,th,td,thead,tbody,iframe,latex-formatting,ol,li,ul,lozenge,auimessage,p,pre,privacy-policy,privacy-mark,auiprogress,auiprogressstepstatic,roundrect,search-box,span,tooltip,strike,copyright,reg-tm,sm,tm, --}}
{{#if HasBody}}
    {{Body}}
{{else}}
    {{RemoveMacro}}
{{/if}}

This preserves the macro body, even if it only consists of whitespace or line breaks.

Remove Macros without Body, or with Empty Body

If you want to remove such empty macro bodies as well, use the following approach, which also removes macros with empty body:

{{!-- applyto:style,auibuttongroup,auibutton,div,bgcolor,alert,align,bibtex-reference,bibtex-display,center,clickable,auidialog,span,fancy-bullets,footnote,display-footnotes,highlight,auihorizontalnav,htmlcomment,img,table,tr,th,td,thead,tbody,iframe,latex-formatting,ol,li,ul,lozenge,auimessage,p,pre,privacy-policy,privacy-mark,auiprogress,auiprogressstepstatic,roundrect,search-box,span,tooltip,strike,copyright,reg-tm,sm,tm, --}}
{{#if HasBody}}
    {{#unless IsMacroEmpty}}
        {{Body}}
    {{else}}
        {{RemoveMacro}}
    {{/unless}}
{{else}}
    {{RemoveMacro}}
{{/if}}
