Dear list,
As it turns out, my workaround here is subpar since it inserts an undesired
line after the description block.
Hans was very kind to send me a fix to place in cont-new.mkxl that fixes the
issue. However, due to my errors in properly pasting the fix correctly, it did
not work. I updated LMTX today and the fix is already merged.
I am pasting below Hans' fix for reference (for anyone who might come across
this later) –
