How To Install elpa-folding on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install elpa-folding on Kali Linux.

What is elpa-folding

elpa-folding is:

This package provides an Emacs minor mode for folding (hiding) custom regions. It also provides an Isearch interface to the folds. Folds can be nested hierarchically.

Folding-mode is similar to a general-purpose Outline-mode or to Org-mode. It can CLOSE a fold so that only initial special marker and optional fold name/comment are visible, or it can ENTER a fold so that all text outside of the target fold is hidden.

The upstream maintainers of folding-mode do not recommend exclusively relying on folding-mode for code layout and navigation. Hideshow and Imenu are more appropriate for folding code at a per-function() level of granularity. In particular Imenu is more useful for this because it parses function indexes. Folding mode is most useful for dividing code into broad operations and for organising stubs while prototyping.
