Re: Hiding a string of text

# Try this: ( for both conceal and fold )

    :syn region  hideAfootnote  matchgroup=hideAfootnote start="\\afootnote{"  end="}\|%stopzone\>" conceal cchar=~ fold

## Snapshots: 

Another option is to hide this text using defined `Ignore` syntax highlight 
    :hi def link hideAfootnote Ignore

About the issues you mentioned, I am not sure. you may define your own syntax highlight for Conceal

    

    : hi Conceal guibg=White guifg=DarkMagenta

Some progress since the original post:  To hide a certain string, I created
the following syntax region:

   syn region conceal start="\\afootnote" end="}"

then split the buffer and did

  :set conceallevel=3

in one of the split windows.

The correct strings are being identified.

However, there are issues:

1) The strings are highlighted with white color in both windows -- I have
verified the conceallevel via ":verbose set conceallevel?".

2) My background is black -- so the highlight should be black and not white.
