Notepad++ has commands to fold/unfold all the document. Is that possible to select some of the lines and fold/unfold only the blocks lying inside the selection?

EDIT1

Any notepad++ plugin which enables this capability?

Sorry but Notepad++ don't haves that option.

It has a similar option called "Hide lines"

  1. Select the text you want to hide
  2. Right button click
  3. Select Hide Lines.

Instead of a + symbol you will see two blue arrows showing there are some lines hidden.
