Thanks for the explanation. I think I get it (but it is still is a
bit confusing to me).
For example this returns (face bold):
(with-temp-buffer
(insert (propertize "Hello" 'face 'bold))
(kill-region (point-min) (point-max))
(yank)
(text-properties-at 0
(buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max))))
While this returns nil:
(with-temp-buffer
(insert (propertize "Hello" 'face 'bold))
(kill-region (point-min) (point-max))
(insert (format "(text-properties-at 0 \"%s\")"
(current-kill 0)))
(eval-buffer))
Nicolas
