display Property
The display text property (or overlay property) is used to
insert images into text, and also control other aspects of how text
displays. These features are available starting in Emacs 21. The value
of the display property should be a display specification, or a
list or vector containing several display specifications. The rest of
this section describes several kinds of display specifications and what
they mean.
38.12.1 Specified Spaces Displaying one space with a specified width. 38.12.2 Other Display Specifications Displaying an image; magnifying text; moving it up or down on the page; adjusting the width of spaces within text. 38.12.3 Displaying in the Margins Displaying text or images to the side of the main text. 38.12.4 Conditional Display Specifications Making any of the above features conditional depending on some Lisp expression.
