+The text properties in @code{minibuffer-prompt-properties} are applied
+to the prompt. By default, this property list defines a face to use
+for the prompt. This face, if present, is applied to the end of the
+face list and merged before display.

+If the user wants to completely control the look of the prompt, the
+most convenient way to do that is to specify the @code{default} face
+at the end of all face lists. For instance:
+
+@lisp
+(read-from-minibuffer
+ (concat
+ (propertize "Bold" 'face '(bold default))
+ (propertize " and normal: " 'face '(default))))
+@end lisp

If the argument @var{inherit-input-method} is non-@code{nil}, then the
minibuffer inherits the current input method (@pxref{Input Methods}) and
the setting of @code{enable-multibyte-characters} (@pxref{Text
