This should work AFAIK :
Qt Code: 
  1. <word format="keyword" parenthesis="be_block:open" indent="1" fold="1">begin</word>
  2. <word format="keyword" parenthesis="be_block:close" indent="1" fold="1">end</word>

  2.  
  3.  
  4. } 
  5. if {
  6.  
  7.  
  8. }

then collapse the fold starting on the if. For me this produces a corrupt screen showing three if lines. I appreciate that is an ugly example, and I wont be at all surprised if you choose to ignore it.
I'll look into it. I can't ignore such a bug if I want the syntax engine to trully be generic...

Here if you fold up the if statement it folds the complete program. I am not sure this is correct. I was expecting the else branch to remain expanded.
This is correct... As I can place more than one collapse/fold marker per line I decided to fold "whole" blocks... I can try to change that behavior (and possibly make it configurable) but I'm not sure it would be worth the effort. (correct me if I'm wrong).
