Hi Kashyap,
The problem seems to be that when the HTML exporter finds more than one
element within a list item, it wraps each one in its own set of
=<p>...</p>= tags, which creates the additional space. You can see that
this has nothing to do with the quotes, just inserting a second paragraph
within the list item triggers this, e.g.:
------
3. Test 3
- sub bullet under test 3, with a quote:
another paragraph within the bullet
------
As Juan Manuel suggested, one way to fix the visual difference is with CSS.
To be more selective, you could style only <p> items with a <li>, like this:
#+HTML_HEAD: <style>li p { margin: 0em; }</style>
In my test, this eliminates the spacing before those items, making them all
look the same in the browser.
Looking at the ox-html code, there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent this
from happening at the moment, a plain paragraph is always wrapped in <p>
tags.
Hope this helps,
--Diego
