Re: Can I mix the use of fold-expr with fold-marker just as mixing fold-expr with fold-manual?

Thanks. Where does Vim store all my defined folds? It creates a separate buffer like NERDTree does?

In that case, it sounds like you want to define a custom function to return a fold level, and use that as the foldexpr with foldmethod=expr.

When writing this function, the indent() function should be helpful.

Example here, plus some links and plugins: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Folding_for_plain_text_files_based_on_indentation

There may be better examples, that's what I could find in 5 seconds or less :-)
