Documentation

Insert text at point, relocating markers and inheriting properties.

Point and all markers at or after the insertion point move forward to end up after the inserted text. This is unlike with insert and other insertion functions, where before-insertion markers remain before the inserted text.

If the current buffer is multibyte, unibyte strings are converted to multibyte for insertion (see unibyte-char-to-multibyte). If the current buffer is unibyte, multibyte strings are converted to unibyte for insertion.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.20.
