--  <description>
--  A Gtk_Label is a light widget associated with some text you want
--  to display on the screen. You can change the text dynamically if
--  needed.
--
--  The text can be on multiple lines if you separate each line with
--  the ASCII.LF character. However, this is not the recommended way
--  to display long texts (see the Gtk_Text widget instead).
--
--  Mnemonics
--  =========
--  Labels may contain mnemonics. Mnemonics are underlined characters in the
--  label, used for keyboard navigation. Mnemonics are created by providing
--  string with an underscore before the mnemonic character, such as "_File",
--  to the functions gtk_new_with_mnemonic or set_text_with_mnemonic().
--
--  Mnemonics automatically activate any activatable widget the label is
--  inside, such as a Gtk_Button; if the label is not inside the mnemonic's
--  target widget, you have to tell the label about the target using
--  set_mnemonic_widget(). For instance:
--      declare
--         Button : Gtk_Button;
--         Label  : Gtk_Label;
--      begin
--         Gtk_New (Button);
--         Gtk_New_With_Mnemonic (Label, "_File");
--         Add (Button, Label);
--      end;
--  However, there exists a convenience function in Gtk.Button to create such
--  a button already.
--
--  Markup
--  ======
--  To make it easy to format text in a label (changing colors, fonts, etc.),
--  label text can be provided in a simple markup format. Here's how to create
--  a label with a small font:
--       Gtk_New (Label, "<small>hello</small>");
--
--  The markup must be valid, and <>& characters must be escaped with
--  &lt; &gt; and &amp;
--
--  Markup strings are just a convenient way to set the Pango_Attr_List on
--  label; Set_Attributes() may be a simpler way to set attributes in some
--  cases. Be careful though; Pango_Attr_List tends to cause
--  internationalization problems, unless you're applying attributes to the
--  entire string (i.e. unless you set the range of each attribute to [0,
--  G_MAXINT)). The reason is that specifying the start_index and end_index for
--  a Pango_Attribute requires knowledge of the exact string being displayed,
--  so translations will cause problems.
--
--  Selectable labels
--  =================
--  Labels can be made selectable with Set_Selectable. Selectable
--  labels allow the user to copy the label contents to the clipboard. Only

--  should be made selectable.

   --
   --  - "copy_clipboard"
   --    procedure Handler (Label : access Gtk_Label_Record'Class);
   --    Request a copy the label's text into the clipboard. This should be
   --    bound to a key.
   --
   --  - "move_cursor"
   --    procedure Handler
   --       (Label  : access Gtk_Label_Record'Class;

   --    the label. This is mostly useful from a keybinding. The cursor is
   --    also used as the insertion point when modifying the label
