@item cursor
@kindex cursor @r{(text property)}
Normally, the cursor is displayed at the beginning or the end of any
-overlay and text property strings present at the current buffer
-position. You can instead tell Emacs to place the cursor on any
-desired character of these strings by giving that character a
-non-@code{nil} @code{cursor} text property. In addition, if the value
-of the @code{cursor} property is an integer, it specifies the number
-of buffer's character positions, starting with the position where the
-overlay or the @code{display} property begins, for which the cursor
-should be displayed on that character. Specifically, if the value of
-the @code{cursor} property of a character is the number @var{n}, the
-cursor will be displayed on this character for any buffer position in
-the range @code{[@var{ovpos}..@var{ovpos}+@var{n})}, where @var{ovpos}
-is the overlay's starting position given by @code{overlay-start}
+overlay and text property strings that ``hide'' (i.e., are displayed
+instead of) the current buffer position. You can instead tell Emacs

(@pxref{Managing Overlays}), or the position where the @code{display}
text property begins in the buffer.
