In großen Büchern kommt es immer wieder vor, dass zwischen den Absätzen eine leere Zeile steht. Der gemeinsame Nenner scheint zu sein, dass ein Absatz ziemlich genau seine letzte Zeile ausfüllt und darauf Anweisungen zu Endnoten/Fußnoten folgen.
Mein MWE ist etwas dick, weil es ein schwer zu reproduzierendes Verhalten ist; wenn man irgendetwas ändert, was das genaue Layout verändert, scheint das Problem zu verschwinden. Hier ist mein Latex-Code (dieser wird von XSLT generiert und ist nicht für das Lesen durch Menschen gedacht und wurde dann noch etwas manuell gekürzt, um die Größe zu reduzieren, tut mir leid):

A man is sitting at a desk and typing.
He is writing in a language that no one on earth speaks.
Without long hours of study,
even someone who understood the language would be hard
pressed to read his work and understand his precise intent.
Sometimes, he stops and thinks, or draws pictures on
a piece of paper or whiteboard, or stops to sleep, eat, or
meet with others, but he always returns to typing.
Hours turn into days, days into weeks,
weeks into months, and perhaps even months into
years before the man stands up and declares he is \enquote{done.}%
\par
Done with what?
What has he created?%
\par
What he has created is a computer program,
but that explains little about what it is or even where
it exists.
At the physical level,
a computer program is usually a microscopic pattern of either electricity or
magnetism.
It may flow as whirling fields of electromagnetism from one form into another,
and be endlessly duplicated and replicated across many different
machines.
It often exists in a great many places---indeed, it only
really ceases to exist if all those copies are tracked down and obliterated
(and modern programmers generally keep an astounding number of copies of each program).%
\par
What, then, is computer programming, really?
Computer programming can be described in a number of ways,
but I will give you a factually accurate description of the
profession that you have not heard before: \begin{quote}\textbf{Computer programming is the act of designing complex patterns
of energy that affect the world.}\end{quote} I chose the two clauses in that definition carefully.
Although there are other professions that produce patterns
of energy (such as broadcasting electromagnetic FM waves),
they are not acts of designed energy like computer programming,
where every ultra-microscopic electric, magnetic, or chemical state is a result of human decision. \label{id265852}The composer Edgard Var\`{e}se declared that \label{id265846}\enquote{Music is organized sound.} and I am making an analogous declaration: software is organized energy. \label{id265842}\setcounter{pagenote}{0}\pagenote[id265852]{{\itshape The composer Edgard Var\`{e}se declared that \enquote{Music is organized sound.}}: \protect \cite[]{j:OrganizedSound}.
And though an infinite amount of music can be composed
with a twelve-note scale,
software has reduced this to the logical extreme,
generating its infinite variations from only two notes.
Var\`{e}se also said that \enquote{Our musical alphabet is poor and illogical} \protect \cite[]{b:ClassicEssaysMusic},
which is perhaps also analogous to the situation with software,
or maybe the mere longing of all creators for better tools.}\ignorespaces %%
And though much software operates nearly invisibly,
software affects the world in increasingly direct ways;%
\footnote{\label{FN:id265788}\label{FN:id265811}Turing Award winner Butler Lampson asserts the three historical phases of computers to date are:
modeling the world, connecting people, and engaging with the physical world.
The progression of these phases represents increasingly direct effects on the world.}
even in the early days when software might produce merely a
number that a human would read,
some of those numbers helped create the first atomic bomb,
so the size of software's effect on the world cannot be inferred
from how directly the software manipulates the world.

Der genaue Kern des unerwünschten Verhaltens sind diese Zeilen:

Und die unerwünschte leere Zeile sieht am Ende so aus (gilt auch, wenn ich die echte Bibliografie einschließe und die vielen Durchläufe durchführe, um das ganze Buch „wirklich“ zu erstellen):
Ich verwende Tex Live 2017 und habe „pdflatex book.tex“ eingegeben, um meine Ausgabe zu erhalten.
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017/W32TeX) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2017.7.12)
Ich kann viele kleine Dinge ändern, um das Problem zu beheben, aber ich möchte nicht ständig das ganze Dokument prüfen müssen, um zu sehen, ob das Problem irgendwo neu aufgetreten ist. Und da mein LaTeX maschinell generiert wird, würde ich das Problem wirklich gerne verstehen und wenn möglich einfach keinen Code generieren, der es verursacht. Nach langem Herumprobieren bin ich jedoch ratlos und kann nicht herausfinden, was das Problem verursacht.

Nehmen:
from how directly the software manipulates the world.

LaTeX erkennt bei jedem Zeilenumbruch ein Leerzeichen. Insbesondere gibt es ein Leerzeichen zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Zeile. Die Anweisungen danach müssen in die AUX-Datei geschrieben werden, also fügen sie einen „Whatsit“-Knoten ein. Das Leerzeichen am Ende der ersten Zeile ist also „verwerfbar“ und würde am Ende des Absatzes verworfen werden, aber darauf folgt das nicht verwerfbare „Whatsit“, also kann es nicht verworfen werden. Dies führt zu einem Leerzeichen am Ende des Absatzes, das TeX manchmal als Haltepunkt verwendet. (Weitere Informationen finden Sie im TeXbook nach Übung 14.12)
Dies lässt sich vermeiden, indem dieses Leerzeichen nicht hinzugefügt wird. Wenn also auf einen Text Zeilen mit folgen \pagenote, fügen Sie %am Ende der Zeile ein ein hinzu.
Im angegebenen Beispiel wäre dies
