A #GtkTextMark is like a bookmark in a text buffer; it preserves a position in
|
|
the text. You can convert the mark to an iterator using
|
|
gtk_text_buffer_get_iter_at_mark(). Unlike iterators, marks remain valid across
|
|
buffer mutations, because their behavior is defined when text is inserted or
|
|
deleted. When text containing a mark is deleted, the mark remains in the
|
|
position originally occupied by the deleted text. When text is inserted at a
|
|
mark, a mark with <firstterm>left gravity</firstterm> will be moved to the
|
|
beginning of the newly-inserted text, and a mark with <firstterm>right
|
|
gravity</firstterm> will be moved to the end.

|
|
<para>
|
|
"left" and "right" here refer to logical direction (left is the toward the start
|
|
of the buffer); in some languages such as Hebrew the logically-leftmost text is
|
|
not actually on the left when displayed.

Marks are reference counted, but the reference count only controls the validity
|
|
of the memory; marks can be deleted from the buffer at any time with
|
|
gtk_text_buffer_delete_mark(). Once deleted from the buffer, a mark is
|
|
essentially useless.
|
|

|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Marks optionally have names; these can be convenient to avoid passing the
|
|
#GtkTextMark object around.
|

</para>
|
|

|
<para>
|
|
Marks are typically created using the gtk_text_buffer_create_mark() function.
