Have you ever tried emacs' "folding mode"? It is triggered in the text with specially formed comments like this:

Code:
function foo
# {{{ this start a "fold"
{
/some/command
/another/command

return 0
}
# this ends a "fold" }}}

In this example you would only see the line with the functions name, everything else would be folded away.

Folding is even recursive, so you could open a top-level fold and see collapsed lower-level folds inside, which you could open again, etc.

I hope this helps.
