[TxMt] Problem with code folding in BibTeX mode

[Charilaos Skiadas]

Hi Matthias,

	as far as I can tell, this is not possible atm. Funny enough, the  
reason is the spaces/tabs in front of "Year". As it stands, the  
folding will terminate on any line that starts with a non-zero  
character, because it only checks for the existence of a right brace  
on the line. However, there is an extra requirement for foldings in  
TM at the moment, namely that the first non-space character is at the  
same column location as the corresponding one for starting folding  
marker. So no luck atm I'm afraid.

Of course it is easy to write a command that replaces the entire  
document with one with the right brace moved to the next line. In  
fact, you probably just need:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
STDIN.readlines.each{|line| puts line.gsub(/\}\}/,"\}\n\}") }

with input selected text with fallback document, and output replace  
selected text.

Just out of curiosity, what prompted the need for folding  
bibliographies? I personally do most of my bibtex work in bibdesk,  
and I've only used TM for "search and replace" kind of work.
