I'm not really into this, its a bit strange, and might be just a special problem with my emacs installation/configuration. I can confirm that this is the behavior seen on Emacs24 even when no configuration is loaded. I think this is the *wrong* behavior, quotes are generally textual and loading them in artist mode (to me) is surprising and undesirable. In looking at the code it seems that `org-edit-special' will launch *any* block type in fixed width mode which isn't explicitly caught by `org-edit-src-code'. See the relevant portion of the function [1]. I think the fix here would be to change `org-edit-fixed-width-region' s.t. it only returns true when in fixed width block types (e.g., example). Then possibly add another case statement to launch other block types into text-mode special editing. Best, Footnotes: [1] The call to `org-edit-fixed-width-region' returns true when the point is in *any* block type. , | (cond ;; proceed with `org-edit-special' |((save-excursion | (beginning-of-line 1) | (looking-at \\(?:#\\+\\(?:setupfile\\|include\\):?[ \t]+\?\\|[ \t]*include\\.*?file=\\\)\\([^\\n]+\\))) | (find-file (org-trim (match-string 1 |((org-edit-src-code)) |((org-edit-fixed-width-region)) |((org-at-table.el-p) | (org-edit-src-code)) |((or (org-at-table-p) | (save-excursion | (beginning-of-line 1) | (looking-at [ \t]*#\\+TBLFM:))) | (call-interactively 'org-table-edit-formulas)) |(t (call-interactively 'ffap))) ` -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
