COBOL folding rules

[FALLAI-Denis]

Hi,

In several issues, I have expressed the wish to have foldings on the COBOL code that are not based on indentations, (#89, #90, #91, #94, #101).

I found a VS Code extension, zokugun/vscode-explicit-folding, which allows you to declare your own folding rules.

You will find the result I was able to obtain (#94) on the Discussions area of this site: COBOL folding rules

I would like to thank here the developer (freelance) of this extension who has invested heavily in the changes necessary to achieve the results presented.
If you appreciate the result obtained with this extensions, you can also thank its developer, (without forgetting that he is a freelance ... who lives off his work).

Our "rulers" for "[cobol]" with materialized areas:

  "[cobol]": {
    "editor.rulers": [0,
                      {"column": 6, "color": "#603020"},
                      7,
                      11,
                      {"column": 72, "color": "#603020"},
                      {"column": 80, "color": "#ff0000"}],

Just install, activate (in settings) and observe.

Hi,

Since version 4.4.0, ZOE now offers a native option for folding COBOL source code.
