Description
I would like to have a code for newline in formatstrings, which only prints a linefeed, if the line is not empty. For better Overview I like to have some information as url or location in a separate line but at the moment I get much empty lines if not every information is set.

Research direction
Start by locating khal's format-string rendering and the existing newline-related format codes. Trace how empty and unset fields are rendered, then define the conditional newline behavior described in the issue. Done means a format code adds a linefeed only when the corresponding line contains information, without producing empty lines.
