26 | ;;; Commentary: | |
27 | ;; | |
28 | ;; This package defines functions for inserting and manipulating | |
29 | ;; clickable buttons in Emacs buffers, such as might be used for help | |
30 | ;; hyperlinks, etc. | |
31 | ;; | |
32 | ;; In some ways it duplicates functionality also offered by the | |
33 | ;; `widget' package, but the button package has the advantage that it | |
34 | ;; is (1) much faster, (2) much smaller, and (3) much, much, simpler | |
35 | ;; (the code, that is, not the interface). | |
36 | ;; | |
37 | ;; Buttons can either use overlays, in which case the button is | |
38 | ;; represented by the overlay itself, or text-properties, in which case | |
39 | ;; the button is represented by a marker or buffer-position pointing | |
40 | ;; somewhere in the button. In the latter case, no markers into the | |
41 | ;; buffer are retained, which is important for speed if there are are | |
42 | ;; extremely large numbers of buttons. | |
43 | ;; | |
44 | ;; Using `define-button-type' to define default properties for buttons | |
45 | ;; is not necessary, but it is is encouraged, since doing so makes the | |
46 | ;; resulting code clearer and more efficient. | |
