+@defun filter-buffer-substring start end &optional delete
+This function passes the buffer text between @var{start} and @var{end}
+through the filter functions specified by the variable
+@code{buffer-substring-filters}, and returns the value from the last
+filter function. If @code{buffer-substring-filters} is @code{nil},
+the value is the unaltered text from the buffer, what
+@code{buffer-substring} would return.
+
+If @var{delete} is non-@code{nil}, this function deletes the text
+between @var{start} and @var{end} after copying it, like
+@code{delete-and-extract-region}.
+
+Lisp code should use this function instead of @code{buffer-substring}
+or @code{delete-and-extract-region} when copying into user-accessible
+data structures such as the kill-ring, X clipboard, and registers.
+Major and minor modes can add functions to
+@code{buffer-substring-filters} to alter such text as it is copied out
+of the buffer.
+@end defun
+
+@defvar buffer-substring-filters
+This variable should be a list of functions that accept a single
+argument, a string, and return a string.
+@code{filter-buffer-substring} passes the buffer substring to the
+first function in this list, and the return value of each function is
+passed to the next function. The return value of the last function is
+used as the return value of @code{filter-buffer-substring}.
+
+As a special convention, point is set to the start of the buffer text
+being operated on (i.e., the @var{start} argument for
+@code{filter-buffer-substring}) before these functions are called.
+
+If this variable is @code{nil}, no filtering is performed.

As editing continues, undo lists get longer and longer. To prevent
them from using up all available memory space, garbage collection trims
them back to size limits you can set. (For this purpose, the ``size''
of an undo list measures the cons cells that make up the list, plus the
-strings of deleted text.) Two variables control the range of acceptable
-sizes: @code{undo-limit} and @code{undo-strong-limit}.
