latex-insert-block

latex-insert-block is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `tex-mode.el'.


(latex-insert-block &optional STR ARG)

Create a matching pair of lines \begin{NAME} and \end{NAME} at point.
Puts point on a blank line between them.

This is a skeleton command (see `skeleton-insert').
Normally the skeleton text is inserted at point, with nothing "inside".
If there is a highlighted region, the skeleton text is wrapped
around the region text.

A prefix argument ARG says to wrap the skeleton around the next ARG words.
A prefix argument of -1 says to wrap around region, even if not highlighted.
A prefix argument of zero says to wrap around zero words---that is, nothing.
This is a way of overriding the use of a highlighted region.
