Minipage inline latex is split over multiple lines

[ahcox]

For \minipage, newlines matter. pandoc is adding newlines that break \minipage. E.g., this:

    \noindent
    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.49\linewidth} Column 1 text in here.  \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.49\linewidth} Column 2 text in here \end{minipage}

is turned into this:

    \noindent

    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.49\linewidth} Column 1 text in here.  \end{minipage}

    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.49\linewidth} Column 2 text in here \end{minipage}

Which doesn't produce a side-by-side layout.

Pandoc puts a blank line between every block element in the LaTeX output, so it's not easy to fix this without lots of restructuring.

Could you work around it by putting the two minipages inside a third, wider minipage?
