Back-end developers should pay attention to the fact that white spaces
before and after an ignored export snippet now are accumulated in the
output.
I have no clue about the rationale of this special behaviour - it dates
back to the days when Org export was merged. It is also not documented
anywhere, AFAIK.
I would not expect that the space after the following export snippet is
ignored in the case of ox-html or ox-latex backend:
A space@@ascii:*@@ character.
The space may be put inside the export snippet if the intention is to
omit it for output formats other than plain text. So current behavior is
perfectly reasonable and flexible enough.
The issue is empty lines that serve as paragraph separators and that may
appear due to expansion of a macro or due to skipped export snippets.
Perhaps transcoders of other elements, e.g. links, may return empty
strings as well.
