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?
