Can we hide a table along with its header dynamically in a word document if no rows are available for that table??

I found the easy way to do this was to simply calculate an additional attribute in the XML i.e. tableHasMoreThan1Row which is true or false which allowed me to conditionally show the table or not.

    You can use an "if..else" statement to hide or show your table based on an attribute. The structure of the "if..else" statement should be like this: 

         [#if doc.d.showTable=='true']

                show the table
         
          [#else]
               
                hide the table
         
          [/#if].

      You can't compare string values. It has to be boolean or number.
