Creates a mark at position where
.
If mark_name
is null, the mark is anonymous; otherwise, the mark can be retrieved by name
using [[email protected]_mark]. If a mark has left gravity, and text is inserted at the mark’s current location, the mark will
be moved to the left of the newly-inserted text. If the mark has right gravity (left_gravity
=
false), the mark will end up on the right of newly-inserted text. The standard left-to-right cursor is a mark with right gravity
(when you type, the cursor stays on the right side of the text you’re typing).
The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned `GtkTextMark`, so you can ignore the return value if you like. Marks are owned by the buffer and go away when the buffer does.
Emits the [[email protected]:GtkTextBuffer:mark-set
] signal as notification of the mark's initial placement.
