I am writing a document that is not a program. It is very large with a lot of sections. Normally I am able to remember exactly where everything is. But right now I have an ear infection which has made me less able to think about the whole layout. As a result I am trying to use a code editor Notepad++, to achieve that feature where it automatically creates spinners to open and close sections of text by clicking the left border.
I am editing a .txt file and I don't want to change that. I tried inserting parentheses into my text, to see if it would then give me the option to hide paragraphs. It did not work.

Is there some way I can use # to trigger this functionality editing a text file?

I guess this is called code folding and text folding, and is available for non code purposes in some text editors. But I suspect those embed the fold formatting into a file format other than .txt rather than triggering it with keywords or operators.
