Not REBOL but....
When I'm coding C/C++ I use emacs (death to vi!) which has a minor mode
called Hide-Show. Using that I can do things like (pulling some code from a
recent project):
/** Voltage chart text formatter.
* This replaces special "$" codes in the specified format string with
* values taken from upsStatus. Please see the switch in the body of the
* function for details about which codes are recognised. All unrecognised
* codes or other characters are simply copied to the buffer.
*
* \par Arguments:
* \arg \c buffer - Destination buffer.
* \arg \c size - number of characters available in buffer (not inc \n).
* \arg \c format - Format string to process into buffer.
*
* \todo Find a way to unify formatVoltText(), formatFreqText() and
* formatTempText() to reduce the amount of replication between them (maybe
* use varargs and pass the values to replace code with in that way?)
*/
static void formatVoltText(gchar *buffer, gint size, gchar *format)...
If I then shift-middleclick on the function name I can show the body of the
function, a shift-middleclick in the function body reduces it to the
function name and parameter list followed by "..." again.
Is this what you mean?
