keeping changed face

keeping changed face

[mike hardy]

I'm getting too many hits and can't refine the search to see if this has
been asked: When using the "Text Properties" pop-up I can alter the look
of a pre-selected region of text using "Face..." - how do I save the text
file with the changes I made so that the next time I load it the face
changes are still there?  I'm not talking about applying face changes to
the entire buffer - just a single line (for instance, like making that one
line bold).  It doesn't seem like it would be possible (bummer) on a text
file but I thought someone here would know for sure.

Thanks...

Mike

Mike,

Take a look at the 'Saving Text Properties in Files' section in the 'GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual', (if it is not installed on your system it can be found on line at: http://www.gnu.org/manual/elisp-manual-21-2.8/html_mono/elisp.html)

I have never used this feature so I cannot answer any questions about it.

Hope that this helps.

Thx.  I took a quick look and it appears they're components ppl can make
use of in a larger LISP program (which is something I can't do).  But I'll
try searching DN with the names and maybe I'll get lucky...

In general, you can't save the changes.  

Emacs does have one mode where the faces *are* saved: enriched mode.  Do
`M-x enriched-mode' to turn it on.  Of course, the file will no longer
be saved as plain text, so you might not want this if the file has to be
used for other purposes.

Great (works just like I wanted)!  Most of the text files I want to alter
are only loaded into Emacs anyway so this is perfect.  Thx...
