====== 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//:
<file html 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>
</file>

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):
<code xml>
<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>
</code>

When you have new style, create new scope, that allowed only in this style:
<code xml>
<Scope open="region" close="endregion" has_name="true" decoration="true">
   <Containers open="format_tag"/>
</Scope>
