Positions are usually represented as integers starting from 1, but can
also be represented as @dfn{markers}---special objects that relocate
automatically when text is inserted or deleted so they stay with the
! surrounding characters. @xref{Markers}.
See also the ``field'' feature (@pxref{Fields}), which provides
functions that are used by many cursor-motion commands.
--- 18,28 ----
Positions are usually represented as integers starting from 1, but can
also be represented as @dfn{markers}---special objects that relocate
automatically when text is inserted or deleted so they stay with the
! surrounding characters. Functions that expect an argument to be a
! position (an integer), but accept a marker as a substitute, normally
! ignore the marker buffer. Of course, markers used this way usually
! point to a position in the buffer that the function operates on, but
! that is entirely the programmer's responsibility. @xref{Markers}.
