I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

I tried your patch, but I still get extra \newline commands in the generated
LaTeX.

Let's go back to examples, I think it will be easier to understand my problem.

1) Heading with no text

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** STARTED  First
   SCHEDULED: <2010-03-01 Mon> DEADLINE: <2010-03-19 Fri>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Gives the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\subsection{\textbf{STARTED} First}
\label{sec-1.1}

   \texttt{SCHEDULED:} \textit{2010-03-01 Mon} \texttt{DEADLINE:} 
\textit{2010-03-19 Fri}\newline
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which gives me an extra vertical space between this heading and the next one.

While I would expect this (with or without the extra blank line in this case,
as there's no text after):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\subsection{\textbf{STARTED} First}
\label{sec-1.1}

   \texttt{SCHEDULED:} \textit{2010-03-01 Mon} \texttt{DEADLINE:} 
\textit{2010-03-19 Fri}

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


2) Heading with text and no blank line between heading and text

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** STARTED  Second
   SCHEDULED: <2010-03-01 Mon> DEADLINE: <2010-03-19 Fri>
   This task is split among all services and communication between the
   entities.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This gives the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\subsection{\textbf{STARTED} Second}
\label{sec-1.2}

   \texttt{SCHEDULED:} \textit{2010-03-01 Mon} \texttt{DEADLINE:} 
\textit{2010-03-19 Fri}\newline\newline
   This task is split among all services and communication between the
   entities.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I also get an extra vertical space between the timestamps and the text which
is on a new paragraph.

Instead, I was expecting this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\subsection{\textbf{STARTED} Second}
\label{sec-1.2}

   \texttt{SCHEDULED:} \textit{2010-03-01 Mon} \texttt{DEADLINE:} 
\textit{2010-03-19 Fri}

   This task is split among all services and communication between the
   entities.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


3) Heading with text and blank line between heading and text

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** DONE Third
   DEADLINE: <2010-03-26 Fri>

   This task is split among all services and communication between the
   entities.
   Second paragraph.

   fdqsfdq
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This gives the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\subsection{\textbf{DONE} Third}
\label{sec-1.3}

   \texttt{DEADLINE:} \textit{2010-03-26 Fri}\newline

   This task is split among all services and communication between the
   entities.
   Second paragraph.

   fdqsfdq
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In this case, again, I get an extra vertical space between the timestamps and
the text which is also in a new paragraph.

Instead, I would simply expect this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\subsection{\textbf{DONE} Third}
\label{sec-1.3}

   \texttt{DEADLINE:} \textit{2010-03-26 Fri}

   This task is split among all services and communication between the
   entities.
   Second paragraph.

   fdqsfdq
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


As you can see from these 3 examples, it is safer to always generate blank
lines only instead of \newline commands.

Sorry for the length of this message.

I hope, the problem is clearer now.

Please let me know what you think.
