HInding Lines

HInding Lines

[Artist]

Hi, While doing the development work with emacs, I just want to hide
certain lines. These lines does not constitute functions and I cannot
use narrow-region as I like to see the entire file. So something like
hide-region or hide-regions would be helpful. How I can use outline
mode to hide effectively what I want to hide from point 'A' to point
'B'.

Thanks,
[artist]

Sounds like you want folding.el.  You'll have to put comments into
your code to denote the beginning and ending of the fold, but, other
than that, it sounds like what you want.

Hi,
 I will try folding.el.
 One problem:
 If I put comment surrounding that, I may not run my code properly.
 What I can do is to put some commented boundary around that as an alternative.
 Remembering the points like registers would be a better solution.

Thanks,
Artist.

I think there is a misunderstanding.  folding.el requires comment
lines with start markers and comment lines with end markers, and then
hides the code between the two lines.

In most programming languages, you can add comment lines in most
places without affecting the program.

I think what you want to do is slip into 'M-x outline-mode' and then
go to the level of indentation you want to hide (e.g. 4 spaces in) and
hit 'C-x $.'  Study up on it,  'cause I can't remember how to "unhide"
offhand.
