Hi,

running the code below
you need a package thing-at-point-utils.el

from

http://launchpad.net/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/thing-at-point-utils/1.2/+download/thing-at-point-utils-1.2.tgz

otherwise

replace (ar-bounds-of-word-atpt) by a function delivering the borders of 
the word, a cons

(defun textit ()
  (interactive "*")
  (let* ((bounds (ar-bounds-of-word-atpt))
        (beg (car bounds))
        (end (copy-marker (cdr bounds))))
    (goto-char beg)
    (insert "\\textit{")
    (goto-char end)
    (insert "}")))


HTH,


Andreas
