+ <h3 class="section">Text Properties</h3>    <p>Each character position in a buffer or a string can have a <em>text property list</em>, much like the property list of a symbol (see <a href="property-lists">Property Lists</a>). The properties belong to a particular character at a particular place, such as, the letter ‘<samp>T</samp>’ at the beginning of this sentence or the first ‘<samp>o</samp>’ in ‘<samp>foo</samp>’—if the same character occurs in two different places, the two occurrences in general have different properties. </p> <p>Each property has a name and a value. Both of these can be any Lisp object, but the name is normally a symbol. Typically each property name symbol is used for a particular purpose; for instance, the text property <code>face</code> specifies the faces for displaying the character (see <a href="special-properties">Special Properties</a>). The usual way to access the property list is to specify a name and ask what value corresponds to it. </p> <p>If a character has a <code>category</code> property, we call it the <em>property category</em> of the character. It should be a symbol. The properties of the symbol serve as defaults for the properties of the character. </p> <p>Copying text between strings and buffers preserves the properties along with the characters; this includes such diverse functions as <code>substring</code>, <code>insert</code>, and <code>buffer-substring</code>. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr>
