Code folding in LaTeX is not doing what I expect. Lets say I have this in my .tex file:

\begin{document} \section{} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. \subsection{} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. \end{document}

Option + Command + 0 does as expected:

\begin{document}…\end{document}

Option + Command + 1 does exactly the same:

\begin{document}…\end{document}

But what I expected was

\begin{document} \section{}… \end{document}

Option + Command + 2 does as expected:

\begin{document} \section{}… \subsection{}… \end{document}

So, I expected: \begin{document} to be all levels \section{} to be level 1 \subsection{} to be level 2

Is there a way of setting cold folding to do what I expected?

I don't know if it is currently possible to assign a level to a certain marker — e.g. \section{} — without a corresponding end marker. I would guess it is not. Markdown sections for example show the same behaviour — `⌥⌘1` collapses all of them, regardless of their level.

You can work around this issue by using sectioning environments — instead of sectioning commands. For your document that would mean that you would write something like:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{section}{Section} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

\begin{subsection}{Subsection} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

\end{subsection} \end{section} \end{document}

Folding in this document should work as you expect.
