and you can also insert the value of yas/selected-text directly into
the snippet anywhere you want.  e.g.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#name : testing yasnippets for org-mode
# --
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
`yas/selected-text`
$0
#+END_LaTeX
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

of course, you can only do this (or the wrap around region approach)
if you invoke the snippet directly using a key binding (e.g. the
default "C-c & C-s" or "M-x yas/insert-snippet") as opposed to tab
expansion on the snippet name (which is more convenient).

Note that you can assign key bindings directly to snippets.
