+ <title>Skipping blank address lines</title>
+
+ <p>This feature can be best described by a simple example. In the
+ following CSV file, column 5 (ADDR2) contains the second address line
+ for each record. This field is empty in records 1 and 2, but not in
+ record 3. (For this feature to work, the field must be completely
+ empty -- any text, including spaces will defeat this feature.)</p>
+
+ <code>
+ LAST,FIRST,MI,ADDR1,ADDR2,CITY,STATE,ZIP
+ Summers,Joyce,,"1630 Revello Dr",,Sunnydale,CA,95037
+ McGarret,Steve,O,"404 Piikoi Street",,Honolulu,HI,96813
+ Kramer,Cosmo,,"Apt 5B","129 W. 81 St.","New York",NY,10024-7207
+ </code>
+
+ <p>In the following screenshot, a single multiline text object has been
+ created to format these addresses. Notice that ${ADDR2} representing
+ the second address line is on a line by itself. (Any additional text
+ on this line, including spaces would defeat this feature.)</p>
+
+ <media type="image" src="figures/skip-fields-screenshot.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
+ <p>Multi-line address</p>
+ </media>
+
+ <p>Printing this label results in the following output. Notice that the
+ line containing the ${ADDR2} field is completely skipped for the first
+ two records, without printing a blank line.</p>
