begin_quote

[Tory S. Anderson]

A couple questions here.

when I type =<q TAB= I get "#+begin_quote ... #+end_quote" . All others, like 
=<l TAB=, give me the phrase in all-caps, e.g. #+BEGIN_LATEX . Is it some weird 
setting for me, or is the lowercase for quote an actual implementation 
decision/glitch?

Secondly, spoiled by things like smartparens, I love selecting a blog and then 
surrounding it in quotes/brackets in one action. It would be wonderful if there 
were a way to do this for quote/export blocks. Is it already there, or is there 
a reason it's not?

Thanks for all the work this community does! It constitutes a net gain for my 
quality of life.
