Newbie text folding question

Mc1z

Hello,

I’m a new Editorial user, primarily (for now) focusing on using it for notes and TaskPaper-style task managment. Is there a tutorial or example somewhere that describes how to use the text folding features? I’m especially interested in creating outlines where text can be folded based on indent level, not just on a specific character string.

Thanks,

Mark

In Settings-->Editor-->General, make sure "Folding" is enabled (I can't remember if it's switched on by default).

In Taskpaper mode, Editorial recognises lines that end with a colon (:) as headings. In Markdown mode, lines that begin with hashes (#) are headings as per canonical Markdown. Taskpaper folding respects indent levels.

Folding can also be implemented via workflows, which allows you to set things up in a way that suits you, and to control folding irrespective of syntax mode. See the following examples:
