gtk-text-buffer-serialize (buffer content format start end)

buffer -- the gtk-text-buffer object the format is registered with
content -- the gtk-text-buffer object to serialize
format -- a gdk-atom as a string with the rich text format to use for serializing
start -- a gtk-text-iter start iterator of the block of text to serialize
end -- a gtk-text-iter end iterator of the block of text to serialize

A list with the serialized data, encoded as format.

This function serializes the portion of text between the start and end iterator in the rich text format represented by format.

The format arguments to be used must be registered using the gtk-text-buffer-register-serialize-format or gtk-text-buffer-register-serialize-tagset functions beforehand.
