LaTeX Writer: Compact Paragraph followed by List

LaTeX Writer: Compact Paragraph followed by List

[0alph...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 721 bytes --]

Pandoc has compact lists, which use the template-defined \tightlist macro. 
(https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/pull/1571)

Is there a way to compact this further, by changing the generated tex like 
so?

Current:
Text Plus List, Loose

\begin{itemize}
% etc

Desired:
Text Plus List, Compact
\begin{itemize}
% etc

I'm not quite sure if I follow; do you want to remove whitespace in the 
generated TeX, or are you concerned with the spacing between lists and 
paras when the TeX is parsed?

Well, Pandoc parses the following:

Text Plus List, Compact
- List Item

into a Paragraph Node, followed by a List Node, for which the LaTeX writer 
outputs the snippet above.

What I'm concerned with is the final output, but the whitespace added by 
the writer is significant in that it represents a new *LaTeX* Paragraph, 
and this is what adds the extra space in the generated output. This is 
confirmed by the AST JSON dump, and compilation of MWEs with the above 
snippets.

So the real question is: "Is there a way to get this input parsed in a way 
such that LaTeX will emit them as one paragraph unit?"

Sorry, no.  I do understand that this is a distinction one
sometimes wants to make (intra-paragraph list or blockquote
vs new paragraph), and that tex allows you to make, but currently
pandoc can't represent the difference.

Yes, and that's the question I was answering in my response
before. The answer, unfortunately, is no.
