I've modified the behavior of `org-create-formula-image' so that
`\definecolor' etc do not create unnecessary whitespace in the output PDF.
Here's the relevant change:

```
...
        ;; remove tex \par at end of line
        (if (string= (substring string -1 nil) "\n")
            (aset string (- (length string) 1) ?%)
          (setq string (concat string "%")))
        (with-temp-file texfile
          (insert latex-header)
          (insert "\n\\begin{document}\n"
         "\\definecolor{fg}{rgb}{" fg "}%\n"
         "\\definecolor{bg}{rgb}{" bg "}%\n"
         "\n\\pagecolor{bg}%\n"
         "\n{\\color{fg}\n"
         string
         "\n}\n"
         "\n\\end{document}\n"))
...
```

This is useful if you (like me) have replaced the default document class
with standalone and are using dvisvgm. The change removes leading left and
right space, which is especially useful when using inline math mixed with
normal text. It shouldn't make a difference if using Imagemagick's convert
as a backend since that can get rid of whitespace boundaries.

Is anyone else interested in this modification? Should I submit it as a
patch?

Matt

I think so.  And I am not sure all those \n's are necessary.  Without
them, you can probably also remove many of the %s.

Thanks for the reply Eric. The thing I like about the newlines is that the
generated tex files are slightly easier to read. However, this is really
minor. I've created 2 separate patches: one keeping the newlines and the
other without. I'm happy to defer to you or anyone else in regard to which
is preferable.

Not really worried about which alternative is chosen.  I was just
exhibiting my inner compulsive nature... ;-)

So, has anyone settled on which one to apply?

  Remove TeX \par at end of... trailing space.

Minor nitpick: 

  (if (string-suffix-p string "\n") ...)

is slightly less low-level.

Thank you.

My vote goes for keeping the newlines to improve readability in the
generated tex file. But, again, I'm more than happy to be overuled.

Appreciate the nitpick; your version is better!

I've attached an updated patch.

Best,
Matt

Applied. Thank you.

I added TINYCHANGE at the end of the commit message since I don't know
if you have signed the FSF papers. If you did, please let me know.
