It always annoys me that both #OrgMode and #Pandoc do not appear to have a 'clean'/plain flag for generating output.
I want 'plain' LaTeX and HTML with no additions or custom elements...no \tightlist in list environments, nor <div> around sections. Just plain unadulterated markup, that is all...
@jfdm I can relate, but the decision was made a while ago not to support this: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8249
However, more cases like \tightlist have been creeping in recently, so it might be worth to bring it up again in a discussion. https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/discussions
Specifically for tightlists: there's a StackOverflow Q&A about the opposite problem, but the solution could be adjusted to do the reverse, i.e. remove all tight lists by switching Plain and Para. https://stackoverflow.com/q/57940840/2425163
@pandoc thanks, for giving context! I really like the tooling as I’ve had to use to them both take a single source and convert to n-ary formats. (CommonMark to HTML, DocX, LaTeX) but I would love to do more academic writing in it, sadly the extra built in markup needs to be removed for publishers AFAICT.
Hopefully things can change. I equally love and hate pandoc and orgmode with the same amount of passion!
@jfdm One option for academic writing could be #Quarto. It uses pandoc under the hood, but has scientific publishing set as one of the goals. See, e.g., https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/listing-journals.html
Any LaTeX acceptance problems would be treated as a bug there, I'd assume.
