Exporting description list without description

Exporting description list without description

[Yasushi SHOJI]

Hi,

I'm not sure this is a bug or something else.  But the following two
list behave differently when exported.  The fist one inserts a newline
between one and two.

Is there any reason to do that?  Yes, they are description list items
without description.  So there isn't much use but stil..

    - one ::
    - two ::

    - one :: This is 1
    - two :: This is 2

Thanks,

What export target?  I don't see any difference when exporting to LaTeX.

Even Latex backed does it differently.  Note the space between one and two.
Here are both outputs:

\begin{description}
\item[{one}]

\item[{two}]
\end{description}

vs

\begin{description}
\item[{one}] This is 1
\item[{two}] This is 2
\end{description}

Does it happen on your env.? or is it just me?

yes, and I get the same as you do, but that whitespace difference should
make no difference in the PDF result?  I guess it may make a difference
for other export targets.

Yes.  I know some backends don't care.  I just couldn't find a reason why
and where in the element.el or ox.el.   if this isn't intended, should this
be fixed, perhaps?
