patch 8.1.1726: the eval.txt help file is too big

Problem:    The eval.txt help file is too big.
Solution:   Split off testing support to testing.txt.  Move function details
            to where the functionality is explained.

remove a text property
*prop_add()* *E965*
prop_add({lnum}, {col}, {props})
Attach a text property at position {lnum}, {col}. {col} is
counted in bytes, use one for the first column.
If {lnum} is invalid an error is given. *E966*
If {col} is invalid an error is given. *E964*
{props} is a dictionary with these fields:
length length of text in bytes, can only be used
for a property that does not continue in
another line; can be zero
end_lnum line number for the end of text
end_col column just after the text; not used when
"length" is present; when {col} and "end_col"
are equal, and "end_lnum" is omitted or equal
to {lnum}, this is a zero-width text property
bufnr buffer to add the property to; when omitted
the current buffer is used
id user defined ID for the property; when omitted
zero is used
type name of the text property type
All fields except "type" are optional.
It is an error when both "length" and "end_lnum" or "end_col"
are given. Either use "length" or "end_col" for a property
within one line, or use "end_lnum" and "end_col" for a
property that spans more than one line.
When neither "length" nor "end_col" are given the property
will be zero-width. That means it will not be highlighted but
will move with the text, as a kind of mark.
The property can end exactly at the last character of the
text, or just after it. In the last case, if text is appended
to the line, the text property size will increase, also when
the property type does not have "end_incl" set.
"type" will first be looked up in the buffer the property is
added to. When not found, the global property types are used.
If not found an error is given.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
prop_clear({lnum} [, {lnum-end} [, {props}]]) *prop_clear()*
Remove all text properties from line {lnum}.
When {lnum-end} is given, remove all text properties from line
{lnum} to {lnum-end} (inclusive).
When {props} contains a "bufnr" item use this buffer,
otherwise use the current buffer.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
*prop_find()*
prop_find({props} [, {direction}])
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET
Search for a text property as specified with {props}:
id property with this ID
type property with this type name
bufnr buffer to search in; when present a
start position with "lnum" and "col"
must be given; when omitted the
current buffer is used
lnum start in this line (when omitted start
at the cursor)
col start at this column (when omitted
and "lnum" is given: use column 1,
otherwise start at the cursor)
skipstart do not look for a match at the start
position
{direction} can be "f" for forward and "b" for backward. When
omitted forward search is performed.
If a match is found then a Dict is returned with the entries
as with prop_list(), and additionally an "lnum" entry.
If no match is found then an empty Dict is returned.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
prop_list({lnum} [, {props}]) *prop_list()*
Return a List with all text properties in line {lnum}.
When {props} contains a "bufnr" item, use this buffer instead
of the current buffer.
The properties are ordered by starting column and priority.
Each property is a Dict with these entries:
col starting column
length length in bytes, one more if line break is
included
id property ID
type name of the property type, omitted if
the type was deleted
start when TRUE property starts in this line
end when TRUE property ends in this line
When "start" is zero the property started in a previous line,
the current one is a continuation.
When "end" is zero the property continues in the next line.
The line break after this line is included.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
*prop_remove()* *E968*
prop_remove({props} [, {lnum} [, {lnum-end}]])
Remove a matching text property from line {lnum}. When
{lnum-end} is given, remove matching text properties from line
{lnum} to {lnum-end} (inclusive).
When {lnum} is omitted remove matching text properties from
all lines.
{props} is a dictionary with these fields:
id remove text properties with this ID
type remove text properties with this type name
bufnr use this buffer instead of the current one
all when TRUE remove all matching text properties,
not just the first one
A property matches when either "id" or "type" matches.
If buffer "bufnr" does not exist you get an error message.
If buffer "bufnr" is not loaded then nothing happens.
Returns the number of properties that were removed.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
prop_type_add({name}, {props}) *prop_type_add()* *E969* *E970*
Add a text property type {name}. If a property type with this
name already exists an error is given.
{props} is a dictionary with these optional fields:
bufnr define the property only for this buffer; this
avoids name collisions and automatically
clears the property types when the buffer is
deleted.
highlight name of highlight group to use
priority when a character has multiple text
properties the one with the highest priority
will be used; negative values can be used, the
default priority is zero
combine when TRUE combine the highlight with any
syntax highlight; when omitted or FALSE syntax
highlight will not be used
start_incl when TRUE inserts at the start position will
be included in the text property
end_incl when TRUE inserts at the end position will be
included in the text property
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
prop_type_change({name}, {props}) *prop_type_change()*
Change properties of an existing text property type. If a
property with this name does not exist an error is given.
The {props} argument is just like |prop_type_add()|.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
prop_type_delete({name} [, {props}]) *prop_type_delete()*
Remove the text property type {name}. When text properties
using the type {name} are still in place, they will not have
an effect and can no longer be removed by name.
{props} can contain a "bufnr" item. When it is given, delete
a property type from this buffer instead of from the global
property types.
When text property type {name} is not found there is no error.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
prop_type_get([{name} [, {props}]) *prop_type_get()*
Returns the properties of property type {name}. This is a
dictionary with the same fields as was given to
prop_type_add().
When the property type {name} does not exist, an empty
dictionary is returned.
{props} can contain a "bufnr" item. When it is given, use
this buffer instead of the global property types.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
prop_type_list([{props}]) *prop_type_list()*
Returns a list with all property type names.
{props} can contain a "bufnr" item. When it is given, use
this buffer instead of the global property types.
See |text-properties| for information about text properties.
