Your previous statements did not say that you meant empty overlays only. I was thinking of nonempty overlays. For empty overlays, the treatment you proposed might be right. At least it seems plausible to try. It would be useful to have functions to get the text properties (or just one of them) that would be inherited by an insertion at a given buffer position. It looks like that would be useful as a subroutine for many purposes. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
