Hi List,
this was posted and discussed on the Org-mode mailing list, but without
any real conclusion if it is a Bug in Emacs - or something else. So it
was suggested to repost it here.
Say point is behind the closing parenthesis of the sexp in this Org-mode source
block:
,-------------------------------------
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (+ 3 4) # point behind sexp
| #+end_src
`-------------------------------------
Now, when I call
,-----------------------------
| M-x org-babel-mark-block RET
`-----------------------------
or
,-------------------------
| M-x org-mark-element RET
`-------------------------
the body of the source block (or the whole source-block) is (visibly)
marked as expected (transient-mark-mode is on), and 'M-w' puts the
active region into the kill-ring.
But with the point at the same position, doing
,-----------------------------
| M-: (org-babel-mark-block) RET
`-----------------------------
or
,-------------------------
| M-: (org-mark-element) RET
`-------------------------
moves point to the beginning of source-block (body) and returns the
position of point without (visibly) marking the source-block body.
There is no region activated, 'M-w' puts nothing in the kill-ring.

cheers,

You probably should not use this function in Lisp programs;
it is usually a mistake for a Lisp function to use any subroutine
that uses or sets the mark.
