Folding in LaTeX - TextMate

6 Apr 2006


      Dear fellow LaTextmaters,
I am (again) fiddling with the LaTeX bundle (seem to do that too much  
and write my thesis too little --- ah well). and am trying to find  
some way to add better folding recognition.
However, I would like things to be a bit easier, maybe I am just a  
bit slow-minded today:
Right now I am trying something similar to the HTML.bundle:
foldingStartMarker = '(?x)
    (\chapter{.*}
    |\begin{.*}
    )';
    foldingStopMarker = '(?x)
    (%endchapter{.*}
    |\end{.*}
    )';
Which will add folding marks to chapter headlines and custom comments  
that show the end of a chapter (or section, subsection etc.). Which  
works fine, but instead of having to type out every possibility I was  
hoping to do this:
foldingStartMarker = '(?x)
    (\(chapter|section){.*}
    |\begin{.*}
    )';
    foldingStopMarker = '(?x)
    (%end(chapter|section){.*}
    |\end{.*}
    )';
Works only if the indentation is correct. (Which might get annoyingly  
deep if this is done in depth).
\chapter{chapter}
    \section{section}
    %endsection{}
%endchapter{}
Is there a way to get folding to recognize the foldingStopMarker as  
"the line before it hits a certain pattern"? So I can fold (marked  
with *)
*	\section
    …
*
    \section
thx,
Daniel
PS: btw, when editing this email in Txtmate and returning to Mail.app  
the indentations were all gone.
