LaTeX export of lists

LaTeX export of lists

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

The solution to my earlier query is this:

* List
  1. First item
  2. Second item Following text.

This works for lists set in a paragraph, but won't work for lists set  
out by themselves.  Richard's \noindent will work in these situations,  
but I'm wondering why the empty line is there in the first place?

All the best,
Tom

This is completely different from your first example. Here "Following
text" is inside the list, whereas before, it was outside.

I don't know, I am going to investigate this.

Subject: [PATCH] Exporting lists to LaTeX respects blank lines

* lisp/org-latex.el (org-export-latex-lists): do not add an
  unnecessary newline character after a list.
* lisp/org-list.el (org-list-bottom-point-with-indent): ensure bottom
  point is just after a non blank line.

It is available on master branch now.

Thanks for pointing out this little annoyance.

Sorry I come too late but I would not like this kind of "annoyance"
avoided ;)

In Thomas' case, it is perfectly understandable, true.

But in general, I find it a lot better to leave a blank line between the
end of a list and the following paragraph in the LaTeX code -- easier to
read, I think.

Can your patch be set as an option or so, instead of the default
behaviour?

Thanks anyway,

You just need to leave a blank line between your list and the next
paragraph. I don't see why an option should be needed here.

Or am I wrong?

Thanks for looking into this.  The desired org-mode example and  
exported result is this:

* List
   1. First item
   2. Second item
Following text

\section{List}
\label{sec-1}

\begin{enumerate}
\item First item
\item Second item
\end{enumerate}
Following text

This way, the decision to typeset the list in-paragraph or displayed  
with following non-indented text can be made by the LaTeX class file.

This means that

* List
   1. First item
   2. Second item

Following text

should export as:

\section{List}
\label{sec-1}

\begin{enumerate}
\item First item
\item Second item
\end{enumerate}

Following text

All the best,
Tom

Hi,

Forget my previous post, I didn't see this last one by Thomas.

Seems sensible, indeed.

Cheers,
S.
