- I'm looking for a package of emacs lisp code that allows hiding
- of regions of text and subsequent exposure of the hidden text.
- I'd like to have more than one region of text hidden at a time.
- This should be interactive, but having the ability to predefine
- regular expressions or syntactic elements that would
- automatically be hidden would also be nice.
-
- As an example, I'd like to collapse the body of a while statement
- in C or C++ leaving just the while and condition with some sort
- of ellipsis mark that could be selected for exposing the text.
- Also, certain #ifdef's might automatically be hidden, leaving a
- mark for expansion.
