 @item composition
 @kindex composition @r{(text property)}
 This text property is used to display a sequence of characters as a
-single glyph composed from components.  For instance, in Thai a base
-consonant is composed with the following combining vowel as a single
-glyph.  The value should be a character or a sequence (vector, list,
-or string) of integers.

-If it is a string, it means to display that string's contents instead
-of the text in the region.

-If it is a vector or list, the elements are characters interleaved
-with internal codes specifying how to compose the following character
-with the previous one.
