I am wondering if there is a file editor for Ubuntu that can open and close the different parts of the html file as in the screenshot below:

enter image description here

"menu a" here has a little icon that I can click and the whole thing would be folded in and that way I can see the different parts of the file better. Or can gedit do this?

You need a plugin for Gedit for this to work and you can find one here. But I used that 2 years ago for the last time and we did switch to Gedit 3 after this plugin was introduced. Might not work(...). No answer here: Code folding plug-in for gedit 3.2.1? so it is not widely used or not working.

I myself have made the switch over to Aptana. It has folding for CSS and HTML and alot more. Any other coding style based editor will have folding incorporated. Some I used and know about: Eclipse and Kate (Kate is K so does not integrate as well).

  • ok, thanks a lot. I think I'll stick to gedit, but I have no clue what to do with these py and plugin files. I am a bit of a newbie here, but would like to learn.

I use Geany

I find it good and quite user-friendly.

  • Thanks a lot To Do. I'll give it a go, but I am an old-fashioned guy and since I have been using gedit for a while...well, I'd rather stick to it.

  • Actually Geany is similar to Gedit but more powerful. I think it's worth giving it a try.
