Yes, I think. Might also try to mirror overlays, but that's problematic in practice. However, you cannot use 'before-string/'after-string for overlays. > What about markers ? Are they OK ? Markers always point to a specific buffer. However, for indirect buffers, the text and text properties are shared. So, editing in one buffer will be automatically reflected in all the clones. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
