Workaround needed for Issue #7111 on Divs (Single empty line too much)

[mygithubdevaccount]

When processing a Div like this:

::: special
some text
:::

the output is:

\begin{Special}

some text

\end{Special}

but I need:

\begin{Special}
some text
\end{Special}

My Lua filter:

function Div (div)
  local env = div.classes[1]
  local beginEnv = '\\begin' .. '{' .. env .. 'block}'
  local endEnv = '\\end{' .. env .. 'block}'
  
  -- workaround from https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/blob/main/inst/rmarkdown/lua/latex-div.lua#L50-L59
  table.insert(div.content[1].content, 1, pandoc.RawInline('tex', beginEnv .. "\n"))
  table.insert(div.content[#div.content].content, pandoc.RawInline('tex', "\n" .. endEnv))

  return div
end

Markdown:

::: note
This is a note!

- one
- two
- three

produces this LaTeX:

\begin{noteblock}
This is a note!

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  one
\item
  two
\item
  three
\end{itemize}
<--- !!! this empty line is too much !!! -->
\end{noteblock}

The above workaround works well for paragraphs, but not for other elements suchs a bullet lists.

Is there a workaround to remove this % this empty line is too much !!! ? I tried this in LaTeX but cannot insert a single % or remove the empty line. I need this empty line removed because it renders the single line in LaTeX.

It's a known problem: #7111

But the workaround here: https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/blob/main/inst/rmarkdown/lua/latex-div.lua#L50-L59
works only if the nested element is a pargraph.

The problem with the rendered gap in LaTeX is in the package awesomebox, not in the output produced be Pandoc. I've switched to tcolorbox for drawing admonitions and other boxes, which is way more powerful and I can recreate the admonitions created with awesomebox. So this question is obsolete.
