Lists, exports to LaTeX and cr/lf

Lists, exports to LaTeX and cr/lf

Hi,

I have a question regarding lists and Org-mode 8.0.2 (the version I
currently use).
It seems that if I export this :

- foo foo foo foo foo
bar bar bar bar
- foo foo foo foo foo
bar bar bar bar

Then I get 2 itemize environments because I broke the line after foo.
I don't remember that it was the case previously.
I would find it much more convenient if the end of the environment
was denoted by an empty line, ie:

- foo foo foo foo foo
bar bar bar bar

- foo foo foo foo foo
bar bar bar bar

Any comment about this or did I miss something already explained on the
list?

Thanks in advance,

The line break is not terminating the itemize environment by itself. It
is the lack of indentation on the "bar bar" lines that terminates the
itemize environments in this case.

The following should yield a single itemize environment when it is
exported: 

- foo foo foo foo foo
  bar bar bar bar
- foo foo foo foo foo
  bar bar bar bar

The end of the environment can be denoted by two (or more) empty lines.
This way it is possible to have multi-paragraph (separated by single
empty lines) items in lists.

See section 2.7, Plain lists, in the Org-mode manual for a precise
description of list indentation and ending.

hth,
Tom

Thanks a lot! I have been fooled by Emacs. This situation was the result
on M-q on a previously single-line paragraph. I should have seen that.
I wonder why M-q didn't format it correctly. And now (after a restart), it
does.

Well, everything is fine.

Best regards,


Fabrice
