Bug ID: 366704
Summary: RFE: Add whitespace (blank line[s]) after collapsed
headings.
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: folding
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rhkra...@gmail.com
Details: Now that Bug 112888 (folding without end tags) has been fixed, I'm
finally going back and modifying the .xml file I wrote for highlighting and
folding to work without ending markup. I've run in to a new problem /
disappointment--when I fold without ending markup, there is no whitespace
between collapsed headings:
<example without whitespace--note that the From lines are the top level
headings>
>From "file /rhk/bin/askRhk4a_2016_notes.aml" Sun Jul 31 07:01:07 2016
>From "Files and location" Sun Jul 31 07:08:12 2016
>From "Notes on design and the state diagram" Sun Jul 31 07:08:30 2016
---++ New problem: No whitespace between collapsed headings
---++ Behavior of askRhk04?.xml files with Kate bugfix
---+++ askRhk04.xml with ending markup
---+++ askRhk04.xml without ending markup
---++ Simplifications
>From "Files and location" Sun Jul 31 07:08:12 2016
</example without whitespace>
Especially when I have a long file / outline, it is hard (for me) to
distinguish / read / skim those collapsed headings without blank lines between
them. The following is what I'd like to see.
<example with whitespace--note that the From lines are the top level headings>

I can imagine a few approaches to a solution
* a global option (named, perhaps, "Blank line[s] after collapsed heading")
that, when set, put one (or a specified number) of blank lines after a
collapsed heading and before the next heading (collapsed or not).
* a new parameter that can be added to any context in a kate .xml
highlighting / folding file (named, perhaps, blankLinesAfterCollapsedHeading)
that, when set, put one (or a specified number) of blank lines after the
collapsed heading defined by the given context.
I can imagine that others (and at times, even me) will prefer not to have that
added blank line, so it should be reasonably easy to change from the GUI. (Of
course, if the option is set in each context, I could switch between blank
lines or not by having 2 .xml files and switching between them.)
This is only an issue for folding when there is no ending markup for a folding
section--with ending markup, blank lines after the ending markup are preserved.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I think I've provided enough under information under Details, but, if not,
ask a question.
2.
3.
Actual Results:
See the example in Details without whitespace.
Expected Results:
See the example in Details with whitespace.
