elisp: Display Property

 
 37.16 The ‘display’ Property
 ============================
 
 The ‘display’ text property (or overlay property) is used to insert
 images into text, and to control other aspects of how text displays.
 The value of the ‘display’ property should be a display specification,
 or a list or vector containing several display specifications.  Display
 specifications in the same ‘display’ property value generally apply in
 parallel to the text they cover.
 
    If several sources (overlays and/or a text property) specify values
 for the ‘display’ property, only one of the values takes effect,
 following the rules of ‘get-char-property’.  Examining
 Properties.
 
    The rest of this section describes several kinds of display
 specifications and what they mean.
