Hi David,

Took me a while to realize the problem with current implementation:
If
you already have a blank line between scheduled/deadline line and the
content the newline forces extra spacing between scheduled/deadline
and the following paragraph.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
This cleary /is/ problem. Maybe we should catch these two cases
(patch attached):
,----
| (unless (and (looking-at ".*\n[ \t]*\n") (looking-at ".*\\\
\newline[ \t]*$"))
`----
Insert \newline only if there is no paragraph separator. As far as I
can see the LaTeX code is already rendered when
`org-export-latex-keywords' is called so this should work out.
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.
