Just to clearify the definitions I propos for 'nested' and
'hierarchical' folding:
* nested folding:
you have a starting pattern and and an end pattern, which can be
nested. most common in programming languages, eg C {} and so on
* hierarchical folding
you have only starting patterns, but these patterns have an order,
if an lower ordering starting pattern appear in the text, the
enclosing fold is still active, but if the same or higher order
pattern is recognized, the current and all lower ordering folds ends
and a new fold starts. most common in text processing, with chapters,
sections, sub-sections, and so on
eg:
- \chapter{1}
| Introduce chapter 1
- \section{1.1}
| Some infos for section 1.1
L last line of section 1.1
- \section{1.2}
| because section 1.2 starts
L last line of section 1.2 and chapter 1
- \chapter{2}
L because chapter 2 starts
