I tried this, and it says "mark unknown". I'm assuming there's a
space between folddoc and normal?

I realize it's possible in visual mode. Perhaps I can try that. What's
neat about folds (assuming I can get folddoc working) is that you can
execute a command in different parts of the file, whereas in visual
mode, it's a continuous selection.

I tried the folddoc with the @a, and it just wiped out the text in my
fold altogether, replacing it with what i wanted to insert. Here's
what I tried
:folddoc normal! @a
Or perhaps I'm just not understanding the point of folddoc - I thought
you could use it to execute commands in normal mode as well, but maybe
visual mode is intended for that? The code you showed did work in
visual mode.
Thanks,
