Subject: How to use display text property with after-string?
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 08:15:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87funqtegs.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)
Hi all,
I want to set the "display" text property so that some text is displayed
after the buffer part I'm setting the property to. However, I can't do
it. Consider an Elisp buffer with these contents:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; this is a comment
(put-text-property 14 21 'display '(after-string " which is cool!"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
After C-x C-e with point at the end, I see this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; this is a comment
(put-text-property 14 21 'display '(after-string " which is cool!"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but I expected this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; this is a commentcomment
(put-text-property 14 21 'display '(after-string " which is cool!"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
--
