I often make mis-statements. Today I went back to look at some things here and found one that I want to correct / clarify. (Based on the followup posts, I don't think it really confused anyone except myself, but I'm afraid that others (or "we" in the future) may be confused. ;-)
Otoh, this just might be another case of overkill on my part.

(ATM, I don't know which is best, so I continue without answering that question. ;-) It might have been more clear to say (for the TWiki / HTML case): When a folding region is collapsed, the following happens: * the heading line remains visible * all lines below the heading line, until the end of the region, are hidden * the end of the region occurs (for the TWiki / HTML case) on the line before the next heading at the same or a higher level as the heading line that started this region (to clarify, this final line of the region (the line before the next heading ...) is also hidden) For other folding (like for code) the situation is analogous. (Well, except that this doesn't work very well for fold(s) within a single line--but (hoping) even there, there is something that could be considered the heading for the folded region, which should remain visible, and something that could be considered the body of the folded region, which should be hidden.) Ahh, ok, maybe that's some of the terminology we need, that is, to say that a folding region consists of a heading (which remains visible when folded) and a body (which is not visible when folded).
