Cleaner visuals, less triangles #34

I haven't actually tried to use FT4A much as an editor much. Rather just as an outliner. For me the triangles seem so useful, logical and intuitive in the primary role I see for FT4A (outlining) that removing them seems counterintuitive and counterproductive.

I installed the folding-text markdown package. So far I've only played with the header, paragraph, and lists section.

From a display perspective they're very useful for denoting sections of text that don't fall under an outline - node visual hierarchy. The parent-child outline relationship is still maintained if needed (I can created a bullet list under the paragraph, if needed). The folding function also works -- If I set a line as a paragraph and a header the correct folding behavior happens with a mouse click even though the triangle isn't visible.

It's a bit clunky on the text entry side at the moment as there's no memory of what state the text was in when I hit return.
