Text folding mode?

Text folding mode?

[Tim Johnson]

I'd like to implement a folding mode. Particularly the
ability to fold a highlighted region. I've downloaded fold.el and am
reviewing it. Are there any other recommendations?
Thanks
Tim

There is something called foldout (beside outline and hide-show etc). I 
have never used foldout, but it is described in the manual, see

   M-:  (info "(emacs) Foldout")

Hi Lennart:
I'm looking at the documentation and did load the mode.
I don't see anyway that I could fold something like the following:

;; @syntax (CGI:cookie-set <cookie-name> <cookie-data> <domain> <path>)
;; @param <cookie-name> The string for the cookie variable name
;;        <cookie-data> List begins with 'extra data ("" if not any)
;;               followed by alternating names and values (not nested)
;;        <domain> Domain for which cookie is valid. Needed.
;;        <path> Path for which domain is valid. Recommended: "/cgi-bin/"
;; The lines above are documentation, which I would like to hide/unhide 
;; at will. Is there a way to:
set-mark-command
;; scroll to end of documentation
hide region? Oh an epiphany! google'd emacs hide region
And guess what .... just found hide-region.el at 
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/hide-region.el.
 And I like it.. Will work for me.
 Ain't emacs great?! Google too.

thanks
Tim

Probably it's not that difficult to write such thing
via put-text-property start end 'invisible etc.

As regions beg and end are volatile values, you'll need
variables to store it.

Emacs Wiki helps in such questions too:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en?CategoryHideStuff

(But it seems some update would be good there.)
