(setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t) + markup + lists + Visible only = blank list items

[Michael Dixon]

I’m running Org 9.3.1 and Emacs 27.0.60, which I compile myself.

I discovered that if I have (setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t) in my config, and I create an ordered or unordered list where there are list items only containing marked up text, and then I export Visible only (C-v), those list items export as blank lines (other than the bullet or number).

For example, if I have an org file with the following:

* Heading This is some text. And following is a list. 1. ~with code~ 2. some text ~with code~ 3. some text And back to a new paragraph

It will export to LaTeX/PDF as:

Heading

This is some text. And following is a list.

1. 
   
2. some text with code
3. some text

And back to a new paragraph

If I look at the LaTeX source that was exported for the list, this is what it looks like:

\begin{enumerate} \item \item some text \texttt{with code} \item some text \end{enumerate}

I can reproduce this with an init.el file containing only these 2 lines:

(require 'org) (setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)

If I comment out the second line, the list exports correctly.
