I've got a quandary - a regex doesn't seem to find something in TextPad, but when I run it through another online checker, it works exactly as expected.

I know in coldfusion there's a modifier you put in the regex to enable multi-line support - /(?m)some.*regex/ - where (?m) enables the multiline for that regex. I don't know if that ...

Code folding is a bad idea: I need to go through another step to see inside nested code blocks. Why should I do that? If you don't want to fold the code, then you wouldn't turn on code folding. At least let the people that want it have it. I agree there's times where it's simply an extra step, but ...
