Hi, is there a way to include the AUCTeX function (i.e. to create a figure
or a table or insert a font...) and markup color,  within an org-babel
document?

If I understand your question correctly you want AUCTeX mode to be
active in an Org-mode document.  Generally this is not possible as
Org-mode is the active mode and AUCTeX and Org would conflict in many
ways.

If you want syntax highlighting for a particular chunk of latex code,
you can may it in a src block

#+begin_src latex
  your latex here...
#+end_src

and then customize the `org-src-fontify-natively' variable.  Pressing
C-c ' from withing the code block will then launch a small buffer in
AUCTeX mode.

Hi Eric,
thanks a lot for your answer!! I completely ignore that C-c' lunch the
small buffer for all the code within the src blocks. I belive it was used
only for ESS....

the only remaining problem is that the AUCTeX mode tries to be smart
about what environments it allows to insert. f.ex. inserting

#+begin_src latex

#+end_src

then C-', brings one to a source buffer with AUCTeX-mode enabled.

But a C-c C-e to insert an environment doesn't want to complete on
itemize or figure, but instead only allows to choose document (Which
would be perfectly sane under the assumption that the buffer contains
the whole tex-document).

Does anybody know how to deactivate this "feature" of AUCTeX? Perhaps
setting TeX-master-file to something special?

Thanks,
Jonas

Hi, Jonas
if you enter in the AUCTeX buffer (C-c') and than you use the AUCTeX C-c
C-e, you can choose the environment you need in the emacs minibuffer such
as in LaTeX.

yes, indeed. and my claim was, that the completion facility of AUCTeX
then only shows the environment
\begin{document}..\end{document} and not f.ex. figure.

but when i tried to verify that claim right now, it curiously seems not
to be true any longer.

so sorry for the noise, my problem (if it ever was one) is solved.

cheers,
jonas

I have a further question: how can I export a code like this:

#+begin_src latex
  \begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{foo.jpg}
    \caption{Figure example}
    \label{fig:foo}
  \end{figure}
#+end_src

to LaTeX to obtain a "working" figure code??

it seems to do what you want, when you instead use

#+begin_latex
...
#+end_latex

C-' also still does the same. only the native fontification in the org
buffer doesn't work irrespective of the org-src-fontify-natively
setting. perhaps there is another variable for that.

mind that you could also use org constructs, for instance

#+CAPTION: Figure example
#+LABEL: fig:foo
[[foo.jpg]]

exports to something rather similar.

jonas

Thanks Jonas!!
I do not understand why the code works only if I use:

#+begin_latex
....
#+end-latex

instead of :

#+begin_src latex :exports results :results latex
....
#+end_src

I prefer to use the "original" LaTeX code!!

for this to work you have to add (latex . t) to
org-babel-load-languages.

but it's actually thought to be used to automatically include some
generated latex code as f.ex. an org table as in [1]. org-babel then
creates a #+begin_latex...#+end_latex - block with the whole latex
inside, which is then exported the same way as if you had directly used
the latex-block.
