Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the pointers. Taking your hint :P I took a look to see what I might be in for.
With your comments in mind I started by looking at org-edit-special, and managed to get as far as org-element--current-element: but at this point I'm stumped.

I'll look into getting FSF papers signed, it sounds like they may come in handy :)

One needs to write a `org-edit-latex-fragment' function in "org-src.el", which would be a mix between `org-edit-latex-environment' and `org-edit-inline-src-code' (without all the Babel stuff). The new function can then be installed in `org-edit-special' from "org.el".

I should have significantly more time late june though :) Great. For non-trivial (more than 15 locs) contributions to Org mode (and more generally, to GNU projects), you need to sign FSF papers. You might want to consider signing them beforehand. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
