Description

Bug description

In .Rmd files (R Markdown language mode selected), I can fold (i.e. collapse) R multi-line functions/lists that are defined within ```{r} ... ``` chunks.

This behavior is (more or less) identical to .R files:

With a .qmd file, (Quarto language mode selected), the folding arrows are not there and folding is not possible.

image

Am I missing something obvious here? Shouldn't I be able to fold my function definition in R chunks in .qmd files?


Steps to reproduce

  • Disable all extensions
  • Enable Quarto
  • Enable R
  • Create a .qmd document and write an ```{r} ... ``` chunk with a multi-line, indented list/function/....

My settings:

My extensions:

Expected behavior

Functions and multi-line lists should be foldable.

Actual behavior

The folding arrows are not there and folding is not possible.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the difference between .Rmd and .qmd files with the Quarto and R language modes enabled, using an R chunk containing a multi-line function or list. Compare folding behavior in .R and .Rmd files; done means folding arrows appear for R functions and multi-line lists inside .qmd R chunks.
