Code Folding
Code folding is a feature of the MPLAB® X editor that makes it possible to collapse (hide) and expand parts of a file, making it easier to focus just on the parts of interest. In general, any code block surrounded by braces '{' and '}' will be collapsible by clicking on the "-" and may be expanded by clicking on the "+" to its left. This includes function bodies, compound statements, and also groups of compiler directives. Code folds may be nested, providing a high degree of control over which parts of a file are visible at any one time. Code folding is configurable to include or exclude numerous code structures and also provides a means of creating custom code folds to hide and reveal any part of a file you desire.
