Re: Elisp: How to set multiple text properties.

[Neil Baylis]

Thanks, Stefan. I seem to have it figured out now.

For those interested, here are some calls that work (Emacs 23.2.1):

(These calls set properties on the entire line containing point.)

Set the text to italic only:
   (put-text-property (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)
'face 'italic)

Set the text to blue only:
   (put-text-property (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)
'face '(:foreground "blue"))

Set the text to blue and bold:
   (put-text-property (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)
'face '((:foreground "blue") bold))

Set the text to blue and italic:
   (put-text-property (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)
'face '((:foreground "blue") italic))

Set the text to bold, italic, and red:
   (put-text-property (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)
'face '(bold italic (:foreground "red")))
