/**
* This plugin allows for preserving empty block elements in the editor content
* instead of automatically filling them with block fillers (` `).
*
* This is useful when you want to:
*
* * Preserve empty block elements exactly as they were in the source HTML.
* * Allow for styling empty blocks with CSS (block fillers can interfere with height/margin).
* * Maintain compatibility with external systems that expect empty blocks to remain empty.
*
* Known limitations:
*
* * Empty blocks may not work correctly with revision history features.
* * Keyboard navigation through the document might behave unexpectedly, especially when
*   navigating through structures like lists and tables.
*
* For example, this allows for HTML like:
*
* ```html
* <p></p>
* <p class="spacer"></p>
* <td></td>
* ```
* to remain empty instead of being converted to:
*
* ```html
* <p>&nbsp;</p>
* <p class="spacer">&nbsp;</p>
* <td>&nbsp;</td>
* ```
