set showemptyelement
set showemptyelement= { on | off}
This command allows you to control the gray block with the element name in it when there's an element without any content. If this option is set to on (the default), then an element with no content will be displayed as a gray box containing the start tag name. If the option is set to off, then the empty element box is not displayed.

This command only applies when the set tagdisplay is set to none and has no effect in the Document Map view.
