On of the reason that it doesn't work (apart from nobody having implemented it) is that a chunk of LaTeX does not carry all needed informations like document class. So while it might be possible (and certainly useful) to have such feature it never will work reliably in all cases. Anyway, create an entry on bugzilla if you don't want to get this lost. Andre'
