Is it possible to make yasnippets to expand snippets inside an org-mode babel section in the appropriate mode?
For example I have an org mode that has the following
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
#+END_SRC
Is it possible to configure yasnippets in such a way so all emacs-lisp-mode snippets can be expanded inside that block but not outside it?
