I have tried your examples and I think both give the expected result. Look at this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/ofl8Z9f.png Note one important thing: the only horizontal spaces that are exported "literally" (ie with \hspace...) are the ones at the beginning of the line. This is the same as the old behavior, and works with both :literal and the verse environment. Spaces between words are not exported. Well, they are exported, but not as \hspace, so LaTeX resolves one or more space to a single space. It could be an interesting feature that spaces between words are also preserved, but none of the other backends do that... Actually the :literal attribute has effect only on blank lines. (Anyway, I think that without exporting the spaces between words, the :literal attribute is a bit incomplete. But if those spaces are exported, it would break compatibility with the other backends. The horizontal space before the line makes sense for verses, because these can often be indented arbitrarily in a poem. The other possibility is that the :literal attribute also exports to a verse environment. In that case, it would not break compatibility [the verse block in LaTeX would just have two "modes": one more coherent with the syntax of the verse environment and another one more similar to the behavior of the rest of the backends and the "old" verse block behavior in LaTeX export]). -- Juan Manuel Macías https://juanmanuelmacias.com https://lunotipia.juanmanuelmacias.com https://gnutas.juanmanuelmacias.com
