[AUCTeX] treating a multitude of paragraphs

[Andreas Roehler]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to treat several paragraphs with one call.
For example to quote them.

Exists a function to do this? Couldn't figure it out.

In case not:

Can the draft below considered a possible starting
point to write a more general function - which not just
quotes, but does all possible things?

;; `long-quote-start' would be turned in a general form
(setq long-quote-start "\\begin{quote}")
(setq long-quote-end "\\end{quote}")

;; later: tx-do-with-paragraphs-what-you-want-to or so
(defun tx-quote-paragraphs (&optional arg beg end)
 "Operates on region, when active.
With arg from point-min, default is from current pos "
 (interactive "*P")
 (let ((beg (if beg beg
          (cond ((and mark-active transient-mark-mode)
             (region-beginning))
            ((when arg (point-min)))
            (t (point)))))
   (end (if end end
          (cond ((and mark-active transient-mark-mode)
             (1+ (region-end)))
            (t (point-max)))))
   (old-buf-size (buffer-size)))
   (goto-char beg)
   (insert long-quote-start)
   (new-end end old-buf-size)
   (LaTeX-forward-paragraph)
   (insert long-quote-end)
   (new-end end old-buf-size)
   (goto-char end)
   (insert long-quote-end)))


(defun new-end (end old-buf-size)
 "Adapts end position after insertion/deletion
Expects vars `end' and `old-buf-size' to be set in current context"
 (< old-buf-size (buffer-size))
 (setq end (+ end (- (buffer-size) old-buf-size)))
 (setq end (- end (- (buffer-size) old-buf-size))))

Thanks
