They have nothing to do with headings. Headings are defined by stars at the beginning of line. Blanks around do not matter. > - What is the best practice? No best practice. It is simply a question of user preference. We even have a customization for this: `org-blank-before-new-entry'. Some people prefer separating headings with blank lines, some don't. > The short version is this: pandoc evidently cannot convert to org > without adding spurious newlines That's a decision pandoc can make. Judging from the discussion on github, pandoc chose to always put blank before heading. This is not wrong or right, but a choice. As you saw, it might be changed in pandoc. I guess you can try to write a patch. But your problem has little to do with Org mode. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
