The properties begin and beginRegex are indicating the beginning of a folding region. One of them is required.
Starting the second line of the folding region, each line must match the properties while or whileRegex. One of the properties is required.
The foldEOF property is a boolean (set to false by default).
If the value is true, when the end of file is reached, the folding range will be closed on the last line.
The foldLastLine property is a boolean (set to true by default).
If the value is true, the folding range will include the last line.
If the value is false, the folding range will exclude the last line. In such case, the last line will remain visible when the range is closed.
The kind property indicates if the folding range is a comment or a region (set to region by default).
The bypassProtection property is a boolean.
If the value is false, by default, all regexes which are matching an empty string, are discarded. This is in order to protect against infinite loops.
If you want to match an empty line, you will need to disable the protection by setting this property to true.
The autoFold property is a boolean (set to false by default).
If the value is true, the folding range will be folded automatically.
