No, no, no. preview-latex is one such application, and it is essential that the text remains searchable (it will get autoopened if point is inside of it). It's overlays it uses instead of text properties, but that does not change the underlying basics. If we want some text to be impervious to search, you can a) make it a single character, and so point will never be inside b) declare a special property that makes this character not match for searches. But that will also break things like ^.*$, so it would probably be better to use some otherwise unused character and adorn it with proper character class and syntax. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
