Hierarchical Viewer Level 1 Separator?
In this DevNet post:

http://devnet.kentico.com/Knowledge-Base/Web-parts-Controls/How-to-build-up-a-menu-using-the-hierarchical-tran.aspx

the author details how to create a navigation menu using the universal viewer and a hierarchical transformation.

It is then suggested that the Level one separator be created as a blank placeholder to break the inheritance.

Problem is, you can't create a blank transformation and I don't want a bunch of random characters in my lists.

Any suggestions?

RE:Hierarchical Viewer Level 1 Separator?
I have, at least for now, solved this by creating a level 1 separator and using the ­ character. It does not display and allows me to save an essentially blank transformation.

This does not, however feel like the optimal solution. An earlier suggestion of &nbsp produced a lot of extra space.

Thanks in advance.
