Ideally I would also like to be able to fold markdown text, not only
programming code. Has anyone had success with that?

A plugin could look at the code and notifications and decide what and when
to fold. If the lexer does folding already (unlike Markdown), the plugin
would be fighting the lexer's setting of fold levels, and would probably
require disabling code folding in Geany and doing everything in the plugin.

Yes, setting the lexer to  SCLEX_CONTAINER is how you turn off the
scintilla lexer and get the SCN_STYLENEEDED notification to do it in
the plugin.  But ATM Geany doesn't support it.


For the Markdown lexer, which doesn't appear to support folding, you could just write simple plugin which scans the text and set the appropriate fold level on the desired lines.

For example this naive pseudo-code to fold on #-style headers:

        onTextChanged() {
                foreach line in allLines
                        if line.text.startsWith("###")
                                line.foldLevel = 3
        }

It's not as nice as doing it inside the lexer proper but it's probably only a few pages of code to implement.
