Thank you for Pandoc!

I am using 1.15.0.6 to translate a file from org to pdf.
A simplified of my file is:


* section
** subsection

#+BEGIN_VERSE
bla

bla
#+END_VERSE

This file is translated in the pdf text:

 
Contents
section
1
subsection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
section
subsection
#+BEGIN VERSE bla
bla
#+END VERSE

In order to not having the superfluous #+BEGIN VERSE ... bit, I need to close the verse paragraph before the blank line and open another one later:


* section
** subsection

#+BEGIN_VERSE
bla
#+END_VERSE

#+BEGIN_VERSE
bla
#+END_VERSE

Since, the QUOTE paragraph works with blank spaces properly, I was wondering if this can be fixed easily.
Thanks!

@tarleb - issue is that VERSE environments in the org reader don't seem to allow blank lines.
Easy to fix?

Just looking at the code, it seems like blank lines were allowed already. I'm investigating.

@tarleb tarleb Make sure verse blocks can contain empty lines 
The previous verse parsing code made the faulty assumption that empty
strings are valid (and empty) inlines.  This isn't the case, so lines
are changed to contain at least a newline.

It would generally be nicer and faster to keep the newlines while
splitting the string.  However, this would require more code, which
seems unjustified for a simple (and fairly rare) block as *verse*.

This fixes #2402.
