Hi, when checking why empty <span></span> blocks were appearing, I found that pygments are including them on purpose so that empty new lines are not ignored by the HTML parser.
See https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main/src/176329bf17a98677643a935fb6ef5b1d0c88aeb6/pygments/formatters/html.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#html.py-705 I guess we need to skip/change tests to take care of that. Cheers, Cédric
