[Vim-latex-devel] Re: "TVO like" outline folding

[Aditya M. <adi...@al...>]

Hi,

  Sometime back there was a request by  Peter Gasparovic to have TVO 
like outline folding in latex-suite. I have deleted that message from 
my inbox and the list archives are only read-only. Therefore I am 
starting a new thread.

Quoting from that mail

One method to do this is to use manual folding and %>>> to end the 
section fold.

Suppose you have something like

\section{Section 1}
blah blah blah
.
.
%>>> NOTICE THE MANUAL FOLD MARKER
\subsection{subsection}
blah blah blah
.
.


then it will be folded like

+--\section{Section 1}------------------
%>>> NOTICE THE MANUAL FOLD MARKER
+--\subsection{Subsection 2}

Not entirely what you wanted, the fold marker is visible, the folding 
depth for subsections is not there and you have to do it manually. But 
may be acceptable for most situations.

HTH,
Aditya
