This works only on character wise collapsing and also isn't perfect. When doing line wise concealing you will never now (with exception of :se number) if there are hidden lines. Character wise concealment also has its problems because some lines will be unnaturally short due to concealing and without possibility to effectively gqap. Of course - in case of LaTeX conceal patch is better than nothing (hiding \index{}, \footnote{}, maybe substitute math characters) would greatly clarify text. m. ps. I am leaving tomorrow for three weeks, good bye.
