Object Hierarchy

Description

GtkTextTags are used to change the display properties of a block of text in a GtkTextBuffer.

A tag is applied across a range of text identified by two GtkTextIters and affects the way that range of text is displayed. For example, a tag may define the font-weight, color, text size or any combination of many different properties for the range of text.

Before a tag can be used with a GtkTextBuffer, it must be added to the buffer's GtkTextTagTable with add() (or by creating the tag with create_tag).
