User Defined Scopes
Generally, there is no difference between user defined or programming language defined scopes - both processed same way.
You are not able to defined you own scopes (collapsing region) everywhere you want - syntax should allow this. Otherwise you will get compiling errors. But there is a trick.
You can place you user defined scope blocks inside of the comment:
- test_region.php
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <meta name="generator" content="HippoEDIT" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> </head> <body> <?php ## region MyArea for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { # some code } ## endregion ?> </body> </html>
And this looks like this:
To make it nicer, just create new style (for example called Format Tag) with color different from standard comment and with prefix started with language dependent comment symbol (as # for PHP):
<Style id="format_tag" name="Format tags" bold="0" italic="0" underline="0" clr="Format tag" bkclr="#FFFFFFFF"> <Blocks> <Block open="##" close="\n"/> </Blocks> </Style>
When you have new style, create new scope, that allowed only in this style:
<Scope open="region" close="endregion" has_name="true" decoration="true"> <Containers open="format_tag"/> </Scope>
