I googled "vs code folding" and found this manual page <https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_folding>, containing this quote: QQQ Folding regions are by default evaluated based on the indentation of lines. A folding region starts when a line has a smaller indent than one or more following lines, and ends when there is a line with the same or smaller indent. Since the 1.22 release, folding regions can also be computed based on syntax tokens of the editor's configured language. The following languages already provide syntax aware folding: Markdown, HTML, CSS, LESS, SCSS, and JSON. If you prefer to switch back to indentation-based folding for one (or all) of the languages above, use: "[html]": { "editor.foldingStrategy": "indentation" }, QQQ This explains a lot :-) It's a disappointingly simple strategy, one that I never would have considered. Or maybe it's just a brilliantly simple strategy. Hehe, probably not. It creates too many folding units. They don't matter much in vs code, but they would not be welcome in Leo. Leo's importers can't use this strategy. *Summary* Today's explorations have been useful. They have taught me vs code's searching capabilities. vs code's documentation explains the clever way that vs code discovers folding units. It is independent of language! Alas, this clever approach will be of no use to Leo's importers. Imo, the importers must know more about language syntax than indentation. I plan no further explorations in this area.
