My take on it is that environments are not supposed in general to be output inside of a line, so that extra spaces are OK. I am against adding % in a lot of places just to guard against badly written code. If a given environment is supposed to be used inline, its author should make the effort to get it right. (meaning we can maybe add \ignorespace to several of our macros) Line spacing (paragraph breaks) are more important for environments IMO, but this is what you are doing already with your patch. So what I would like is to have by default the type of LaTeX code most people write, i.e. without any pesky % before line breaks. We should maybe have a tag 'Display 1' indicating whether an environment stands on its own (like lists) or not. JMarc
