Yes, this is more or less what I meant. I guess, there is no such thing 
yet in the Gambas IDE, right?

Maybe it could be made simpler by defining either "to the end of text" 
or "until the next folding mark". Thus you would have to invent only a 
single starting markup.

And I would add this to the comment function, i. e. after a single quote 
one or two additional letters, the rest of the line constituting the 
header for the folded text. Like this:

'# or '$ or '#$ or '$$ so when you write a title behind it

'$$ ------- The following is for ACCOUNT only ---------

when you collapse the text, you get a single line in a predefined color 
showing the title string and the "+" on the left.
