“Show a block of text only if enclosed Txp tags produce some output.”

<div class="prevNext">
<span id="linkToPrev"><txp:link_to_prev>&#8592;&nbsp;<txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev></span>
<span id="linkToNext"><txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title />&nbsp;&#8594;</txp:link_to_next></span>
</div>

Yes, the spans will be output even if they’re not necessary, but if you only style the links themselves, the spans won’t be visible on the page.
