FWIW, I think this would be great. As soon as we have to type real
HTML/LaTeX or whatever code inside the Org document, it's a great
addition to see the code we type with correct syntax highlighting. That
helps preventing errors, and allows quicker and easier understanding of
what the code does.
That would be the same for #+HTML/LaTeX one-liners, yes!
Now, I have no idea about what's the work required. But I definitely
would love to see that implemented.
Best regards,
Seb
