I have a basic ditto template which has various template variables in the document and looks like this:

Code:

<h2>[+tplvar_company_name+]</h2>
<p>[+tplvar_description+]</p>
<p>[+tplvar_address+]<br />
[+tplvar_contact_name+]<br />
<strong>[+tplvar_contact_position+]</strong>
</p>
<p>[+tplvar_telephone+]<br />
[+tplvar_fax+]<br />
[+tplvar_mobile+]<br />
[+tplvar_skype+]<br />
[+tplvar_email+]<br />
[+tplvar_website+]
</p>
<p>
<a href="#top">^ Top</a>
</p>

However sometimes there might not be any "skype", "email", or "telephone" data, so this means I get a lot of blank spaces because of the breaks (br).

Q1. I would like to know how to tell Ditto to ignore any template variable (and the BR after it) if it is blank.

Also, when I created template variables it asked me for a label (ie: "Website", "URL" or "company name").

Q2. Is it possible for me to use these labels in my Ditto template without having me to re-typing them?

ie:

Code:

[+some_template_variable_label+] - [+some_template_variable_value+]<br />

Many thanks.
