It’s called folding. The online manual reference is here.

It primarily works with “defined” programming languages (lexer file contains the necessary definitions to aid the folding). However you (the user) could also create a UDL. So in order that you can use folding in your file there would need to be a structure to the file contents, such as headings, paragraph start ID’s and the likes.
Have a read of the process in the online manual’s link and see if it might work for you. The UDL system isn’t as mature as the lexer folding is, and you might encounter an issue creating your UDL. Be aware that others have also found bugs in the UDL system, but in spite of these being raised with the developer none have been fixed (as yet), reference.
