32.5 Marker Insertion TypesWhen you insert text directly at the place where a marker points, there are two possible ways to relocate that marker: it can point before the inserted text, or point after it. You can specify which one a given marker should do by setting its insertion type. Note that use of insert-before-markers
ignores markers’ insertion types, always relocating a marker to point after the inserted text.
This function sets the insertion type of marker marker to type. If type is t
, marker will advance when text is inserted at its position. If type is nil
, marker does not advance when text is inserted there.
This function reports the current insertion type of marker.
All functions that create markers without accepting an argument that specifies the insertion type, create them with insertion type nil
(see Functions that Create Markers). Also, the mark has, by default, insertion type nil
.
