You're trying to execute a normal-mode command where an :ex command is
expected. What you are trying to do is:
:folddoc normal! '<C-R>a'
However, may I instead suggest:
1. Visually select the lines you wish to execute the command on (or
use marks as you are doing)
2. :'<,'>normal! '<C-R>a'
Note that if you press : in visual mode, the '<,'> automatically gets
inserted on the line. This means, "do the command :normal! on every
line in the visual selection".
