I would like first to understand why you thought about using the
prettify-symbols-mode technique for this. The natural features to use
for displaying some text instead of what's in the buffer are 'display'
text properties and overlay strings, and the natural feature for
hiding some text is the 'invisible' text property. So why didn't you
use these features to begin with? What am I missing?
Thanks.
