How do you highlight? What do you highlight? What for?
In the very concrete case at hand, I was highlighting regions with
non-nil `help-echo' property, using overlays with background color.
The code works for properties other than help-echo too. Again, in the
concrete case at hand, I was doing it explicitly to check whether my
code would work in *info* buffers. But I have used overlays
personally for a variety of reasons, for instance, to highlight for
emphasis. I guess I could just tell in the documentation that the
highlighting can easily "evaporate" in certain buffers, such as *info*
and *help*. The user can always re-highlight. For my unrelated
personal uses (that can not be reconstructed from information contained
in the buffer) I might have to save my overlays in a file to do that.
Sincerely,
Luc.
