LaTeX-close-environment: org-close-template

LaTeX-close-environment: org-close-template

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

Auctex has a nice function called LaTeX-close-environment, which works
as follows: I have 

\begin{equation}

^(cursor)

I run LaTeX-close-environment and  obtain:
\begin{equation}

\end{equation}

Now could I am looking for a similar functionality for say

#+begin_comment

^(cursor)

org--close-template and  obtain:

#+begin_comment

#+end_comment

Does anybody know about such a function?

Regards

Uwe Brauer

I don't.  However, I find that using the easy templates (e.g. <s to
insert a src block, <c to insert a centred block, ...), akin to
latex-insert-block, does the equivalent and better (in my opinion, of
course ;-).  There isn't an entry for comment blocks but you can define
your own:

,----[ C-h v org-structure-template-alist RET ]
| org-structure-template-alist is a variable defined in `org.el'.

| Documentation:
| Structure completion elements.
| This is a list of abbreviation keys and values.  The value gets inserted

I think the opposite, for example, another missing feature: if you mark
a text and one to insert a template around it, say src, that does not
work in org-mode, but for it works an environment in auctex.


In any case, the point is: sometimes you incidentally may delete say
#+end_src, so having a function which I described spare you to copy and
paste text.

I know. I did

Because it avoids typing the first line as well...  but I didn't say
that what you wanted wasn't useful.

Yes, I do often find myself killing a bunch of lines, inserting the
template and then yanking the lines back.

Sure.

It might be worth taking a look at something like yasnippet which provides
both easy to insert templates and the wrap-around functionality you would
like. It's very easy to write snippets which support both these use cases.

Cheers,

Will
