| − | I have tried this by copy pasting the commands and executing it as suggested. |
||
| − | However, it would seem that no folds were create. In any case, zM did nothing (and I had many empty lines in file). |

| − | Any advice? |

| − | :This tip works for me. See {{help|:syn-fold}} to see if anything jumps out at you. Or ask on vim_use. Note that if an entire match is on a single line, nothing will be folded (i.e. if none of your "many" blank lines occur consecutively, nothing will be folded). |

You can fold sequences of two or more empty lines (may contain whitespace) with these settings:
:syn match MyEmptyLines "\(^\s*\n\)\+" fold :syn sync fromstart :setlocal foldmethod=syntax
After entering the above, type zM to close all folds, or zR to open them.
If you have set 'foldcolumn' to more than 0 you can open/close the empty-line blocks by clicking the '+' or '-' with the mouse in the folder column.
