copied!<p>It depends on whether there's a consistent form to the licence block and what language you're programming in. For example, python tends to use a 'foldexpr' to define folding, so to add this you'd have to replace the existing function with a new one (or get rid of the existing folding). I believe the default in C is to use manual folding (although it's possible that I configured it that way myself: I can't remember), so this is much easier to add extra folding.</p> <p>With a simple GPL copyright message like the one at the end of this post, you could set foldmethod to manual and have a simple function that creates a fold. It all depends on the form of the copyright and how important it is for you to maintain the existing folding. I'm afraid I'd need a bit more detail to give a more useful answer. Anyway, here's an example script that could be used to fold the copyright notice at the end of this post:</p> <pre><code>function! CreateCopyrightFold() let InCopyright = 0 set foldmethod=manual for Line in range(1,line('$')) let LineContents = getline(Line) if LineContents !~ "^#" if InCopyright let CopyrightEnd = Line - 1 exe CopyrightStart . ',' . CopyrightEnd . 'fold' endif break elseif LineContents =~ "Copyright" let InCopyright = 1 let CopyrightStart = Line endif endfor endfunction au BufRead *.py call CreateCopyrightFold() </code></pre> <p>Assuming a copyright notice like this one:</p> <pre><code># Copyright (C) 2009 Some Company or Something # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
