Function: visible-mode

visible-mode is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in simple.el.gz.

Signature

(visible-mode &optional ARG)

Documentation

Toggle making all invisible text temporarily visible (Visible mode).

This is a minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the Visible mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate visible-mode(var)/visible-mode(fun).

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.

This mode works by saving the value of buffer-invisibility-spec and setting it to nil.
