[FIX] web: do not display nocontent help if empty

Have an action which help field has the value:
```
<p></p>
```
Display an empty list or kanban

Before this commit, the nocontent helper was displayed even though there was
nothing to display.

After this commit, an empty html tag is the same as an empty string,
so the helper is not displayed.
