Thanks for the reply, J.A. - I could draft a proposal, to be consistent with Jaap's framework for bounties. If that would be acceptable, then I have two questions:
First, lists would be a clear choice for folding, as they can be nested to any depth. Headings were also mentioned in your original query: > I'd really like to see the addition of a plugin that would > enable folding for lists and headings (both would be very welcome). To clarify then, based on your latest reply: Would folding of Headings be an additional feature request, with a separate bounty? Second question, for both you and Jaap: Would it be feasible to set milestones for implementing folding, starting with a working model? This could help ensure that we're "on the same page" as work progresses. Specifically, Zim already has a built-in secondary view, which might be useful as a testbed: From the File menu, "Open in New Window" displays a work-in-progress toward multiple views. (It's read-only for now, though fixing that is mentioned in the docs.) That New Window might be a safe place to develop folding, while preserving the current main window. Once folding works as agreed in this testbed view, it would be straightforward to merge it into the right-hand pane of the main window. Looking forward to your replies, and hope to submit a proposal soon.
