I mean "hiding" in the same way that entities can be hidden in Auctec. Auctec allows a "fold mode" that replaces various entities with user defined symbols. For example, \label{xxx} becomes [l]; \footnote{xxxx} becomes [f]. The folded symbols are in a different face (customisable). Entities to be hidden can be user defined, so that new latex macros may be hidden. Folded objects expand when the cursor is put over them. The fold mode dramatically increases readability of the raw manuscript, particularly when there are long footnotes. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE Documentary letters of credit are used primarily to facilitate international trade.[fn:2: Kerr J famously called the documentary letter of credit the "crankshaft of modern trade" and "the lifeblood of international commerce": RD Harbottle (Mercantile) Ltd v National Westminster Bank Ltd 1978 QB 146 at 155.] The credit will ordinarily be issued at the instigation of the purchaser of goods and the beneficiary will be the seller. The credit will call for the presentation of shipping documents, insurance policies and commercial invoices along with other more specific documents. #+END_EXAMPLE becomes #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE Documentary letters of credit are used primarily to facilitate international trade.[f] The credit will ordinarily be issued at the instigation of the purchaser of goods and the beneficiary will be the seller.
