Editing Code folding (section)

===Indentation-based===
Indentation-based folding points are generally specified by the position and sequence of non-printing whitespace, such as tabs and spaces, within the text. This is most often used as a simple form of syntax-based folding, as indentation almost always reflects nesting level in [[indent style]]s for structured programming languages.

This convention is particularly suitable to syntaxes that have an [[off-side rule]], so the structure largely agrees with the indent. Examples include [[Python (programming language)|Python]] and text files that require indentation as a rule by themselves. However, even in these cases, structure does not exactly agree with indent, such as in [[line continuation]], and thus syntax-dependent folding is preferred.
