I guess, for Nate's original application (converting existing code to
src blocks), what might have been most useful is something to enclose a
given region in a source block. Can anyone show how to do that with
yasnippet (or anything else)? Or is it best to make a custom function
for a task like this, e.g.
(defun dan/enclose-region-in-src-block ()
(interactive)
(let* ((beg (if (region-active-p) (region-beginning) (point)))
(end (if (region-active-p) (region-end) (point))))
(goto-char end)
(unless (eq (char-before) ?\n) (insert "\n"))
(insert "#+end_src\n")
(goto-char beg)
(beginning-of-line)
(insert "#+begin_src \n")
(backward-char)))
