How do I not display template elements in an email?

I have created an email template with various parts that are editable. Sometimes, when I create a new email using the template I don't want to use all of the elements. Is there a way that some can be stripped out on the email level? If I put in no content it still displays it. For example a background color. Or do I have to make various versions of the email template that take into account potential content combinations?
 
Any insight is much appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance

Patrick,

My oversimiplified answer is you have to either:
  • Design the template so that the "editable region" is completely blank when it contains no content (i.e. no height/width, background color, etc.)
  • Replace the HTML, removing the elements manually in the code, or
  • Design multiple templates for multiple variations
Interested to hear any other opinions as well...

We do the 'multiple template' method, described above; although I will now be looking into 'editable region is completely blank when it contains no content'.
