   See emacs-wiki-verbatim-tag for an example of a tag that changes the
   face of the enclosed text.

   If you don't want to mark it up specially, simply use (when
   highlight-p ...) instead of (if highlight-p ... ...).


OK, I think I understand how to use this function to change the face
now (haven't tried it yet) but (OT) I don't fully understand the
text properties that are being added by the function... though
now I'm looking in the elisp manual and it makes a bit more sense.

However, I don't see how this changes the face (maybe I'm missing
something).  Wouldn't you want to use something like

    (add-text-properties beg end '(face default 
                                   rear-nonsticky (read-only)
                                   read-only t))

(or whatever) for purposes of changing the face?
