I guess you missed my response. I suggested this a couple of days back.
Sadly I was in a hurry and could not provide precise instructions. You
can achieve this using the enumitem package with the noitemsep option[1].
So inside Org all you need to do is add the following to the file header:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem}
If you want this behaviour for all lists add the following:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setlist{nolistsep}
If you only want to do this for a particular kind of list (say,
enumerate) add the following line instead:
\setenumerate{noitemsep}
To control this per-list you can do:
#+attr_latex: :options noitemsep
- Step 1
- Step 2
- Step 3
For more info on other options, see the documentation for enumitem
(`texdoc enumitem' or <http://ctan.org/pkg/enumitem>).
Hope this helps,
