#31 ignore folding

[Anonymous]

given the following example code that uses folding:

# doSomething() {{{
def doSomething():
pass
# }}}

the generated documentation is wrong because it considers the #
doSomething {{{ as a (part of) docstring. removing the fold
markers is not feasible as it doesn't allow to collapse the whole
function into a single line.

would it be possible to modify the parser to ignore the lines with
fold markers on them?

This would certainly be possible. I'm not sure what this
folding is for, though. Is it inserted by an editor of some
sort? Is that a standard format, used by several tools?

the fold markers {{{ and }}} are used by variety of programming editors
like vim, xemacs or jedit. it's pretty much standard i guess. it's up to the
programmer to insert fold markers in the code so as to divide it into
logical groups and be able to fold or unfold them - this way the code is
much easier to read because you only unfold the part you need. see
