In InsetQuote::Latex, I need to know the current language at point in order to know what kind of quotes are updated. Of course, a solution would be to pass a LyXFont to Latex(), although no inset except this particular case will ever need this info (needing to know language for writing latex is weird). I feel that in this case the backlink from inset to paragraph is very useful. And no, there is no cursor there. If you want other examples, feel free to ask. JMarc
