<refsect1><title>Description</title>

<para>Specifies that if an empty <sgmltag>toc</sgmltag> element is
found in a source document, an automated TOC is generated.
<note>
  <para>Depending on what the value of the
  <parameter>generate.toc</parameter> parameter is, setting this
  parameter to <literal>1</literal> could result in generation of
  duplicate automated TOCs. So the
  <parameter>process.empty.source.toc</parameter> is primarily useful
  as an "override": by placing an empty <sgmltag>toc</sgmltag> in your
  document and setting this parameter to <literal>1</literal>, you can
  force a TOC to be generated even if <sgmltag>generate.toc</sgmltag>
  says not to.</para>
