    .. tab-item:: Before

        .. code:: robotframework

            *** Variables ***
            ${EMPTY_VALUE}
            @{EMPTY_LIST}
            &{EMPTY_DICT}
            @{LIST_WITH_EMPTY}
            ...    value
            ...
            ...    value3

    .. tab-item:: After

        .. code:: robotframework

            *** Variables ***
            ${EMPTY_VALUE}    ${EMPTY}
            @{EMPTY_LIST}     @{EMPTY}
            &{EMPTY_DICT}     &{EMPTY}
            @{LIST_WITH_EMPTY}
