Function: insert-text-button

insert-text-button is a byte-compiled function defined in button.el.gz.

Signature

(insert-text-button LABEL &rest PROPERTIES)

Documentation

Insert a button with the label LABEL.

The remaining PROPERTIES arguments form a plist of PROPERTY VALUE pairs, specifying properties to add to the button. In addition, the keyword argument :type may be used to specify a button-type from which to inherit other properties; see define-button-type.

This function is like insert-button, except that the button is actually part of the text instead of being a property of the buffer. Creating large numbers of buttons can also be somewhat faster using insert-text-button.

Also see make-text-button.
