Is there a tag to prevent Plantuml from printing certain participants?

Question

I have a developed a PlantUML template with up to 30 entities, which is obviously too much. The idea was to have all of them defined by default and let PlantUML print only those ones which are used. 

Thus, the team would always be using the same names without having to manually delete the unused entities from eahc sequence diagram.

Is there a tag like autonumber or newpage to do so (i'm thinking about a deleteunused or clean?
