Hello:

  I am now working a proposal text using BlackBox as a convenient
wordprocessor, more convenient than Word for this kind of the report
writing. Folds are very useful to hide away variants of texts
or some technical comments. It would be very convenient, if such
comments could be retained for archival purposes after the work
is finished. This is however not possible, because the fold show
in the printed version of the document as rather ugly-looking arrows.

I have a suggestion: provide a state variable, which could be
flipped for a particular Fold, such that it prints as a white space.
The variable could be flipped using the Properties menu for each Fold.
In such a way the arrows would be still visible on screen, allowing
to manipulate the folds with a mouse, but the printed document would
not show a given Fold. I further suggest, that non-printable Folds
would use a different kind of the symbol, for example an arrow
crossed with a slash "/" such that the user will know the given Fold
will print as a white space.

The enhanced Folds could be named "Comments" because they could be
used in such a role in reports and documentation texts.

Thank you,

Wojtek Skulski skulski{([at]})nowhere.xy
