Adding code folding to syntax highlighting

[Enrico Mattea]

Hi Christoph,

thanks a lot for your answer!

I'm not sure I understand - I thought my command (<StringDetect 
attribute="Keyword" context="#stay" String="begin" 
beginRegion="Control"/>) only starts a region if it finds a "begin" 
keyword (and not a "begin" character string)? And the two other commands 
have "endRegion="Control"/>" to close that region?

Sorry, I am not really familiar with these instructions!

All the best

Enrico
