Re: hideshow bug with json-mode

[Robert Thorpe <rt@robertthorpeconsulting.com>]

Try evaluating the following line:
(push '(json-mode "{" "}" "/[*/]" nil) hs-special-modes-alist)
Then try your example.

Probably, the reason yafolding works is because it's indentation based.
Hide-show is based on syntax, so it needs information from the mode on
the syntax of blocks.

When you say that nXML mode doesn't work, what do you mean?  What XML
code did you use to try it?
