Forum: Ruby gedit - graphic display of block of code

Hi,

I am using gedit for coding and I like it very much. The one thing I do
miss is the graphic display of a block of code, which looks like a node.
For example between If and End.

Is this available in gedit? I have some plugins istalled but this is not
covered?

regards,
seba

You'd have better luck asking at a gedit-related forum. As an aside,
I'm not sure what "looks like a node" means.

There used to be a code-folding plugin for gedit, but it looks like it
was never updated for gedit-3:
https://github.com/kawaikunee/gedit-folding/issues/1

A good alternative would be to set up geany according to this guide:
http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/gedit-to-geany/
It keeps the added features of geany while emulating the look and feel
of gedit as far as possible.

I'll try Geany with the settings suggested on the above site.

thank you,
