Description : Edit regions in separate buffers, like `org-edit-src-code' but for arbitrary regions
Edit the region BEG..END in a separate buffer.
The region is copied, without text properties, to a separate
buffer, called edit-indirect buffer, and
`edit-indirect-guess-mode-function' is called to set the major
mode.
When done, exit with `edit-indirect-commit', which will remove the
original region and replace it with the edited version; or with
`edit-indirect-abort', which will drop the modifications.
This differs from `clone-indirect-buffer' with narrowing in that
the text properties are not shared, so the parent buffer major mode
and the edit-indirect buffer major mode will not be able to tread
on each other's toes by setting up potentially conflicting text
properties, which happens surprisingly often when the font-lock
mode is used.
This should be maintained by the emacs-addons-team. If no-one else is
inspired, I'll eventually get around to packaging it.
There is preliminary packaging at
