Correctly convert back tightlist from latex to markdown

Correctly convert back tightlist from latex to markdown

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1250 bytes --]

Dear Pandoc users/developpers,


I am trying to produce markdown *from latex*. 

However, regular lists (itemize environment) are converted to the "loose" 
type of list, i.e the markdown output has blank lines between each item:


* item1

* item2

* item3


While I would personally always prefer the markdown compact list format, 
this choice is consistent with the conversion from markdown *to latex* (where 
the \tightlist command is added to compact lists).


I therefore tried to add the \tightlist command to my itemize environments, 
but pandoc simply ignored it: it still produces loose markdown lists.

Is there a way to produce markdown compact lists from latex? Either by 
interpreting the \tightlist command when seen, or by simply converting all 
lists to compact using some command-line option?


Thanks a lot for your help.

\tightlist is sort of pandoc-specific, but we could make
the LaTeX reader sensitive to it.  Submit a request for
this on our GitHub issue tracker?

Thanks, I wasn't sure this thing wasn't already implemented. I'll submit an 
issue then.
best,
