Signature

(add-text-properties START END PROPERTIES &optional OBJECT)

Documentation

Add properties to the text from START to END.

The third argument PROPERTIES is a property list specifying the property values to add. If the optional fourth argument OBJECT is a buffer (or nil, which means the current buffer), START and END are buffer positions (integers or markers). If OBJECT is a string, START and END are 0-based indices into it. Return t if any property value actually changed, nil otherwise.

Other relevant functions are documented in the text-properties group.
