Hi all, since a few betas ago, I'm experiencing the problem that some commands add unwanted vertical space in mkiv. I think this is the case with \writetolist, but I need to prepare an example for that. I have prepared an example for publication lists: the following code produces the expected output in mkii. In mkiv, it adds vertical space for every item that is added to the bibliography. Maybe some unescaped line-endings somewhere in the code?
