Inline source does not evaluate when inserted insie a minipage environment

Inline source does not evaluate when inserted insie a minipage environment

[Charles Millar]

Hi,

This problem may not be limited to just \begin{minipage}, etc., but to 
other latex commands which may precede text which contains inline source 
code

The following inline code evaluates as expected to 1

This is some text.
Some more test with an inline  src_sh[:results raw]{echo 1}
a bit more

However, when I C-c C-c the same code when inside a minipage, I get the 
message " 'C-c C-c' can do nothing useful here"
\begin{minipage}[t]{4.0in} This is some text.
Some more test with an inline  src_sh[:results raw]{echo 1}
a bit more
\end{minipage}

Org mode version 9.1.1 (release_9.1.1-62-g6e7d15.dirty @ 
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/)
GNU Emacs 25.1.50.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5) of 
2016-07-21

I admit that I did only a cursory search in the list, so if the issue 
has been addressed before this, please point me in right direction.

This is not a bug.

  \begin{minipage}
  ...
  \end{minipage}

defines a LaTeX environment, i.e., pure LaTeX code, and Org doesn't look
into this. This is like $...$ or \(...\), but as block element.

I solve this aspect, and more generally allow the use of org formatting
directives within the text by doing:

#+latex: \begin{minipage}[t]{4.0in}
This is some text. Some more test with an inline src_sh[:results raw]{echo 1}
a bit more
#+latex: \end{minipage}

You're welcome.

You might also want to consider using special blocks which could be a
more general solution:

#+attr_latex: :options [t]{4.0in} 
#+begin_minipage
This is some text.
Some more test with an inline src_sh[:results raw]{echo 1} a bit more
#+end_minipage

Thanks again, I am using this suggestion.
