Optional properties and clean markup

Hello,

Any recommendations on the best way to generate clean markup when you have optional properties in a block or page?

For example, I might have something like this:

@Html.PropertyFor(x => x.Intro)

If that property isn't populated, we end up with an empty

tag.

I've done something like this:

 @if (@Model.Intro != null) //or maybe check for isnunllorwhitespace?
{

@Html.PropertyFor(x => x.Intro)

}

That can get repetetive, are there any common ways to tackle this issue?

Thanks,

You could create your own DisplayTemplates that will be used instead of the default ones. See this post for more information: http://joelabrahamsson.com/how-episervers-html-helper-propertyfor-works/.

Hope this helps.
