GtkSourceMarker

Description

A GtkTextMark is used to identify a location within a GtkTextBuffer. Unlike a GtkTextIter, a GtkTextMark will persist across buffer modifications.

A GtkTextMark cannot be instantiated directly with the new operator. Instead it must be created using create_mark() .

By default, every buffer automatically creates two GtkTextMarks named insert and selection_boud. They point to the insertion point (cursor) and the selection boundry which is not the insertion point, respectively. Moving these two marks to two different places in the buffer will select the range of text between them. Both marks have right gravity.
