Consider the following org file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * foo Verbiage to begin the paragraph #+begin_src shell get-config.py var section [section ...] #+end_src and verbiage to end the same paragraph. * bar Verbiage to begin the paragraph #+begin_example get-config.py var section [section ...] #+end_example and verbiage to end the same paragraph. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- When exported to latex with current git (Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.120.g2edd.dirty)), I get: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Verbiage to begin the paragraph \begin{verbatim} get-config.py var section [section ...] \end{verbatim} and verbiage to end the same paragraph. \section{bar} \label{sec-2} Verbiage to begin the paragraph \begin{verbatim} get-config.py var section [section ...] \end{verbatim} and verbiage to end the same paragraph. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- so both instances of "verbiage to end the same paragraph" actually end up being in a different paragraph, with three empty lines after a source block and two empty lines after an example block, where none existed before. LaTeX indents the newly created paragraph and it looks ugly. Of course, just a single empty line is enough to do the damage, but the fact that there is more than one and that there are different numbers, indicates multiple places where a gratuitous newline is inserted. I get sane behavior with the attached patch, but I'm wondering if it breaks other backends, so if somebody is willing to test, I'd appreciate it (and of course, I'll test as well). For the time being at least, this is a trial balloon, not a real patch. ISTR this issue coming up on the list recently: did I imagine it? If not, could somebody provide a reference? My feeble attempts at searching gmane were unsuccessful. I did find an old thread between Nicolas Girard and Carsten and apparently things were fine for a while. Or I may be thinking about Tom Dye's problem with lists embedded in a paragraph. about a month ago, but this is a different problem. Thanks, Nick
