/**
 * 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>
 * ```
