+ <h2 class="chapter">Markers</h2> <p>A <em>marker</em> is a Lisp object used to specify a position in a buffer relative to the surrounding text. A marker changes its offset from the beginning of the buffer automatically whenever text is inserted or deleted, so that it stays with the two characters on either side of it. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr>
