[Docutils-develop] [docutils:bugs] #456 Latex Blank lines in Block Math Environment

[Günter M. <mi...@us...>]

- **status**: open --> pending-works-for-me
- **Comment**:

I cannot find spurious newlines in `latex2e/__init__.py` and no blank lines in {equation*} environments in the LaTeX test output. Nor in the output of "rst2latex" for a local copy of https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/mathematics.txt.

Please provide a minimal  example (input file + generated latex file), the Docutils version and eventual extensions/wrappers.

The latex writer has a serious bug regarding block math displays.
According to the book *More Math into Latex*:
> No blank lines are permitted within an equation or equation* environment.

But if you look at the code that's **exactly what it does.** The resulting Latex output is incorrect.
Please fix this as soon as possible.

BTW get with the times and start using git please.
