Tip: #399 - Fold away empty lines
Created: January 13, 2003 2:48 Complexity: basic Author: Thomas Version: 6.0 Karma: 2/5 Imported from: Tip#399
You can fold sequences of at least two empty lines (may contain blanks) with these settings:
" fold empty lines with white spaces: syn match MyEmptyLines "\(^[ ^I]*\n\)\+" fold
You probably can substitute '[ ^I]' with '\s'.
If you have set 'foldcolumn' to more than 0 you can just open/close these empty lines block by clicking the '+' or '-' with the mouse in the folder column.

Probably the tip aims at getting rid of empty lines from the display, not from the file.

--AT-- Anonymous_1 and _2: don't forget the white spaces, leave one empty line. Never had a look on files created and maintained by other people ? Deletion is NOT the problem for this tip.
