Each of the pairs associates a property name (usually a symbol) with a property or value. Here is an example of a property list: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">(pine cones numbers (1 2 3) color "blue") -</pre> -</div> <p>This property list associates <code>pine</code> with <code>cones</code>, <code>numbers</code> with <code>(1 2 3)</code>, and <code>color</code> with <code>"blue"</code>. The property names and values can be any Lisp objects, but the names are usually symbols (as they are in this example). </p> <p>Property lists are used in several contexts. For instance, the function <code>put-text-property</code> takes an argument which is a property list, specifying text properties and associated values which are to be applied to text in a string or buffer. See <a href="text-properties">Text Properties</a>. </p> <p>Another prominent use of property lists is for storing symbol properties. Every symbol possesses a list of properties, used to record miscellaneous information about the symbol; these properties are stored in the form of a property list. See <a href="symbol-properties">Symbol Properties</a>. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="plists-and-alists" accesskey="1">Plists and Alists</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">Comparison of the advantages of property lists and association lists. </td> -</tr> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="plist-access" accesskey="2">Plist Access</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">Accessing property lists stored elsewhere. </td> -</tr> </table><div class="_attribution"> - <p class="_attribution-p"> - Copyright © 1990-1996, 1998-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU GPL license.<br> - <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Property-Lists.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Property-Lists.html</a> - </p> -</div> |
