Subject: bug#39624: 26.3; Inserting text in a specified face
Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2020 13:20:01 -0800

I'm just trying to figure out how to use the 'insert' function to insert
one string in the currently active buffer in a specific face like
'custom-comment'). I'm sure it's easy to do, but I have spent
several hours searching through all the Info documentation and haven't
found a single clue. If I could figure out how to do it, I would write
my own function like '(insert-using-face STRING FACE)' if no existing
function does that.
