The support for inline \begin{...} is a convenient hack, but it's 
a hack and adding features of the #+begin_src/latex blocks to it 
would only make it more hackish.  I suggest you use a code block
and C-c ' when necessary.

[O] org-edit-special on "inline latex"

[Jonas Hörsch]

hi list,

i recently switched from using the verbose

#+begin_latex
\begin{eqnarray}
  8 &=& 7 + 1
\end{eqnarray}
#+end_latex

to just the "inline version"

\begin{eqnarray}
  8 &=& 7 + 1
\end{eqnarray}

which is: shorter to write thus also clearer to read and as a welcome
gadget even exports to html as well.

but i see also two drawbacks:
1. syntax highlighting is lost
2. org-edit-special (C-') doesn't switch to auctex anymore[fn:1]


it would be fantastic if it was possible for org-edit-special to work on
an enclosing \begin -- \end region the same way it did on a latex block,
i.e. show a new window with the snippet in latex mode.

in there one would have all the pleasures of syntax highlighting and
auctex shortcuts and whatelse.


is this already possible?

thanks,
jonas

[fn:1] while org-cdlatex-mode is great, i sometimes prefer auctex
