Description
Description of the Issue
In UDL, In the Folder & Default Section, I could not find any option where-in I can specify a keyword that will be present at the beginning of the line.
For example, If I want to make a block of lines from the line starting with the keyword START and keyword END, it is not possible at present.
Notepad Plus Plus is marking all the lines as the beginning of the folding wherever START appears (even between the line).
Expected Behavior
There should be an option where-in the keywords can be specified and Notepad Plus Plus should check only if they are at the beginning of the line
Actual Behavior
Notepad Plus Plus is marking all the lines as the beginning of the folding wherever START appears (even between the line).

Research direction
Start in the UDL Folder & Default section and trace how folding keywords are matched. Verify the current behavior with a UDL containing START within a line, then define completion as matching START only at the beginning of a line while preserving the existing START/END folding behavior.
