Can't make folding work

[inl-pd-autotest]

Hi, Looks like the folding is not working for me. I'm trying to make it work for python (*.py) files and I want the startMarker to be literal text #;{ and endMarker to be literal text #;}. Note that # is the start of a comment in python.

So in Preferences > Package Settings > SyntaxFold > Settings - User I tried to add

,
        {
            "scope": "python.py",
            "startMarker": "#;{",
            "endMarker": "#;}"
        }

and I also tried without the scope line - the folding still doesn't work for me. What am I doing wrong and how to achieve what I want?

You need to add source.python instead.

You can always check the "scope name" of any file by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Alt+P in the active tab. In a recent pull request I made with updates to this plugin, I made this point clearer in the README file and also added support for text/HTML files and a toggle command (fold and unfold depending on the region's state).

Thanks, this way it works, but in a strange way... Does this plugin support nested folding blocks? So I've changed scope from python.py to source.python as you suggested, now the folding is like this:

I expect folding buttons to be at lines 21, 26, 36, 43.

Just realized that it might be due to the plugin expecting the startMarker and endMarker to be at the line start exactly, while I have whitespace characters (well, tab characters, to be precise) there first. I guess the plugin doesn't support regex syntax for the markers?

[inl-pd-autotest]

Ha, turns out it is both: the plugin expects startMarker to be exactly at line start AND it also currently doesn't support nesting (requested by #14 ).
