+# Improving compiler diagnostics with Overlays

+
+Overlays are a feature of Emacs that allow changing the
+appearance of text while preserving its contents. They play a prominent
+role in packages like org-mode, which uses them to hide or reveal custom
+properties and display inline images, and magit, which uses them to
+highlight diffs.
+
+The presenter will give a introduction to the features of overlays,
+demonstrating how to:
+
+- Create and use overlays in Emacs Lisp code
+- Query locations in an existing buffer to find out what overlays are
+present.
+
+He will then demonstrate a new compilation minor mode for improving the
+readability of error messages, using overlays to flexibly reformat portions
+of the compiler output under user control.
